Hojicha Powder 粉末ほうじ茶 – Medium Roast / CERTIFIED ORGANIC

This finely ground hojicha powder from Kyoto offers a smooth flavor with a gentle toasty aroma. The medium roast enhances its natural sweetness, making it perfect for lattes and other drinks while retaining the warm notes of roasted green tea.

Hojicha has its origins in the Edo period when tea makers began roasting lower-grade leaves to enhance their flavor and reduce bitterness. The roasting process not only lowers the caffeine content but also gives the tea its signature warm, nutty aroma. In Kyoto, the scent of hojicha became a comforting presence, especially during the colder months, making it a familiar and beloved tea in Japanese households.
