WHAT IS HOJICHA ?
Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea that originated in Kyoto. We carefully selected the tea leaves of Sencha, Bancha and Kukicha. The tea leaves are roasted over high heat to bring out the unique aroma.
In the Meiji period, there was a tea merchant who tried to have an experiment to make the most of the leftovers of various parts of the tea plant. The tea merchant roasted the leaves, stems, and twigs by roasting them over charcoal. Since then, Japan began Hojicha roasting green tea and this resulted in a new business opportunity. People, especially the tea drinkers in that period, loved Hojicha because of its pleasant smoky aroma and mild flavor.
IDEAL FOR MAKING SWEETS
Organic Hojicha Green Tea Powder is uniquely blended and powdered so that the aroma and flavor remain even after heat treatment. You can use it not only for various drink recipes but also for Hojicha sweets such as cakes, sweets, etc. You can use it in different ways and create your own Hojicha recipes.
HOW TO MAKE HOJICHA LATTE
1. Put 1 tsp of Hojicha Powder & pour 1oz of hot water
2. Mix Hojicha with about 6 oz hot milk and stir it.
3. Adjust the sweetness with honey or sugar as you like.
