Crafted in Uji, Kyoto, this premium hojicha powder (Hōjicha) is made from carefully roasted tencha stems, taken from tencha, the shade-grown tea leaf used to make matcha. Finely ground into a smooth powder, it is perfect for hojicha lattes, traditional whisked tea, and baking.

Warm, Toasty Roasted Green Tea

Traditional roasting brings out a warm, toasty aroma, natural sweetness, and a smooth, mellow flavor with minimal bitterness. Naturally lower in caffeine than matcha, hojicha is a comforting choice for an afternoon or evening cup.
