This Hōjicha Tea Powder is crafted from carefully selected Japanese green tea leaves and stems, traditionally roasted to bring out warmth, depth, and a naturally mellow character. After roasting, the tea is stone-milled into a fine, silky powder that dissolves smoothly for a comforting, well-rounded cup.
In Japan, Hōjicha is prized for its calm, grounding qualities. Roasting softens bitterness and lowers caffeine while transforming the tea’s flavor into gentle notes of toasted grain, subtle nuttiness, and balanced umami. The result is smooth and approachable rather than sharp or grassy.
Powdered Hōjicha is less common than leaf form and requires additional care to produce. Only properly roasted leaves and stems are suitable for stone-milling, a slow process that preserves flavor and creates a delicate, uniform texture. This added craftsmanship is reflected in both its quality and its cost.
Naturally lower in caffeine than matcha, Hōjicha is well suited for lattes, baking, and culinary use, yet refined enough to enjoy simply whisked with water. Its warmth, versatility, and tradition make it a tea worth savoring every day.
