Hojicha Dark Roast Powder - 100g

Yes Superfood Hojicha Powder is made in Japan from 100% roasted green tea (Camellia sinensis), finely ground. Hojicha is a Japanese green tea style created by roasting the tea leaves, giving the powder its brown to dark-brown colour and distinctive roasted, nutty flavour.

It comes from the Ōmi region of Shiga Prefecture. Its tea heritage is associated with the Tsuchiyama area of Kōka City, an area with a long connection to Japanese tea culture.

Our hojicha is crafted by a Japanese tea producer with more than 120 years of experience, specialising exclusively in hojicha.

With just one ingredient, it makes a characterful base for hot or iced hojicha lattes, dessert creams, ice cream and baked goods. Suitable for home use as well as cafés, patisseries and professional kitchens.
