Hojicha

This roasted green tea powder is crafted from carefully selected tea leaves and stems, stone-milled to a fine, silky texture. Each cup unfolds with warm, toasted cereal notes and a gentle umami depth—smooth, comforting, and beautifully balanced.

Beyond the teacup, this versatile powder elevates baked goods with its distinctive roasted flavor. Fold it into cookies, cakes, muffins, or brownies for an earthy sweetness and subtle complexity.

Perfect for moments of calm reflection, soothing evening rituals, or creative culinary exploration.

Hojicha Brewing Guide:

Traditional Hot Brew:

• Amount: 1-2 teaspoons (2-3g) of hojicha powder per 8 oz (240ml) of water
• Water temperature: 175-185°F (80-85°C) — slightly cooler than boiling to preserve the delicate roasted notes
• Method: Whisk powder with a small amount of hot water to form a smooth paste, then add remaining water and whisk until frothy
• Steep time: Instant once whisked (no steeping required for powder)

Iced Hojicha:

• Prepare as above with half the water, then pour over ice
• Or cold brew: Mix powder with cold water, shake well, and refrigerate for 2-4 hours

Hojicha Latte:

• Whisk 1-2 teaspoons with 2 oz hot water
• Add 6 oz steamed milk (dairy or plant-based)
• Sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired

Baking with Hojicha:

• Use 1-2 tablespoons per cup of dry ingredients
• Sift with flour to ensure even distribution
• Pairs beautifully with chocolate, caramel, and vanilla

Pro Tips:
