You may already know Hojicha as a gently aromatic, roasted loose leaf green tea. Now available in powdered form, hojicha is fast becoming a favourite around the world, especially among those looking for a mellow, low-caffeine alternative to matcha or coffee.
You may also know the the producer of this tea: Keiko. Based in Deipholz, Northern Germany, Keiko has it’s own stone mills for grinding tencha to matcha at the company’s premises. This means that this Hojicha powder, just like the Keiko range of Matcha teas, is freshly ground throughout the year in small quantities, meaning that you will always receive the tea ias fresh as possible.
Perfect for hot or iced lattes, Hojicha’s warm, nutty flavour is mellow and lacks the grassy sharpness often associated with matcha. Its naturally low caffeine content makes it a great choice for any time of day, and it’s particularly popular with cappuccino or coffee lovers lovers seeking a satisfying, tea-based alternative.
Hojicha stands apart from other Japanese green teas due to its distinctive roasting process. While most green teas are steamed or lightly heated, Hojicha is roasted at high temperatures. This method, as reflected in its name, combining “hojiru” (to roast) and “cha” (tea), removes bitterness and infuses the leaves with a gently toasted aroma, subtle smokiness, and notes of caramel and roasted nuts.
This organic Keiko hojicha powder is made from a carefully selected blend of premium 1st and 2nd flush Kabusecha, a shaded green tea known for its rich umami and natural sweetness. Finely ground for ease of use, this high quality hojicha powder blends beautifully into a range of drinks and dishes, making it ideal for both baristas and home bakers.
