Some flavours feel familiar from the very first sip.
Warm, roasted, and quietly comforting, Organic Hojicha Powder brings together the richness of traditional Japanese tea with the versatility of a modern pantry staple. Finely milled from carefully roasted green tea leaves, it offers a smooth, earthy character balanced by gentle notes of toasted grain, caramel, and subtle sweetness.
Unlike brighter green tea powders, Hojicha Powder embraces warmth. The roasting process transforms the tea into something mellow and inviting, creating a flavour that feels equally at home in a morning latte, an afternoon treat, or your favourite baked recipe.
Whether whisked into a creamy latte or folded into cakes, cookies, and desserts, this tea brings depth, comfort, and unmistakable character to every creation.
Origin
This Organic Hojicha Powder is sourced from Harunocho, Isagawa, Shizuoka, Japan, a region renowned for producing some of the country's finest teas.
Nestled among rolling hills and lush tea fields, Shizuoka has long been considered the heart of Japanese tea cultivation. The region's clean mountain air, abundant rainfall, and rich growing conditions create teas celebrated for their purity, balance, and flavour.
After harvest, the leaves are carefully roasted and stone-milled into a fine powder, preserving the tea's natural sweetness and aromatic complexity while making it remarkably versatile.
The result is a tea that reflects the quiet craftsmanship and attention to detail that define Japanese tea culture.
How It Is Made
Organic Hojicha Powder begins as carefully selected green tea leaves that are gently roasted.
As the leaves roast, grassy notes soften and transform into warm flavours reminiscent of toasted grain, caramel, and roasted nuts. The roasting also naturally lowers the caffeine content, creating a tea that can be enjoyed throughout the day.
Once roasted, the leaves are finely milled into a silky powder that dissolves easily into liquids and blends beautifully into recipes.
This process allows you to enjoy the entire tea leaf while unlocking new culinary possibilities far beyond the teacup.
