This is our Organic Hojicha powder, made from carefully roasted green tea leaves, ground into an ultra-fine powder that delivers a naturally warm, toasty character with low bitterness. Unlike traditional green teas, hojicha is roasted over high heat, creating its signature notes of caramelised wood, cocoa, and gentle smoke. Our versatile Hojicha powder can be used: As a latte-style drink Brewed traditionally for an aromatic cup Used in desserts and bakes How to make Hojicha: Boil fresh water - it's always best to use fresh water in the kettle rather than reboil the water from a previous boil. Let the water cool to around 80°C. This can take around 10 minutes. A tip is to decant between cups - each decant removes about 5°C so 4 or 5 swaps will get it down to a good temperature. Put ½ teaspoon (around 1g) into a shallow bowl or mug. Whisk until a fine froth appears. Be careful if using an electric whisk that it does not spray. It should take around 10-15 seconds of whisking and you have your Hojicha. Taste, drink and enjoy! To make a latte - simply follow the above but with maybe a bit less water - then top up with warmed milk.
