Bio Hojicha with front and back label 50 g - white matte

Hojicha Powder 50 g – Japanese Roasted Tea with Elegant Taste

Hojicha is a traditional Japanese roasted green tea that differs from classic matcha with its warm, caramel-roasted flavour and lower caffeine content. This premium hojicha powder originates from the Aichi region – one of the most respected tea-growing areas in Japan – and is made exclusively from first harvest tencha stems.

✔ Unique Production Process

Unlike ordinary hojicha, this product undergoes double roasting, which gives it a deep chocolate-brown colour and remarkably elegant taste without bitterness. The result is a fine powder with a characteristic roasted aroma, ideal for a wide range of applications.
