Organic Hojicha Powder Refill 30g

Ever since a tea merchant in Kyoto experimented with roasting leftover green tea leaves and stems over charcoal in 1920, Hojicha (Houjicha) has been cherished by old to young in all regions of Japan for its comforting, nutty aroma and warm, mellow taste. In recent years, hojicha has quickly gained popularity as the next tea trend worldwide.

Our hojicha is imported directly from Kagoshima, Japan in a powder form. Hojicha powder can be prepared just like matcha, with your favorite milk or just water. We also like to add a little maple syrup to our hojicha latte for the perfect feel-good drink. Hojicha has been available at our cafés for some time, but now you can enjoy it at home, too.

Thanks to the high amount of L-theanine in combination with low caffeine, hojicha has a relaxing and calming effect. Acidity and caffeine contents are reduced by the roasting process, so you can drink it at any time of day. Traditionally, many Japanese drink hojicha after a meal, which helps alleviate the feeling of bloating and heaviness after eating.
