The roasted Hojicha tea powder is made from roasted Japanese green tea, harvested in Shizuoka prefecture. Sencha and kukicha green tea leaves are steamed, roasted, and then milled to create this aromatic green tea powder that is naturally sweet and smooth. Great in lattes or when making desserts.

Great quality, deeply roasted, caramel-like tase. I like the very thin grain texture. It is more roasted, less astringent-strong hojicha flavor than others I´ve tried. So it will depend on your preferences.
My girls and I finished the Hojicha matcha 100g within 1 week. It was so delicious. Will order more. Thank you.
The powder of roasted green tea is something I've only recently heard of. I bought this to try it and I was surprised by the smoky flavor. It almost tastes like coffee. I made cookies with this hojicha powder too and they were good. It also makes nice lattes.
Tastes a bit more earthy than chocolatey (which another vendor's resembled) - which I assume is a more accurate taste of hochija when I get it unsweetened at coffeeshops. I saw the note prior about brewing temps leading to bitterness so trying to be more mindful of that. All in all, a great value for the size.
Recommended powder, takes just like freshly brewed hojicha leaves and much simpler without leftover leaves (that can be re-used 1-2 times). Flavor earthy and deliciously grasses. Slight caffeine amounts.
