Product Description
This Hojicha powder (Japanese roasted green tea) comes from a family-run tea farm established in 1958 in Mie Prefecture, Japan. Made exclusively from Ise-cha leaves, one of Japan's three prestigious tea brands, this professional-grade powder is in over 100 establishments across the country — cafes, restaurants, and patisseries. Certified with no detectable pesticide residues, it embodies the excellence and tradition of Japanese tea producers. Hojicha is a roasted green tea distinguished by its brown color and warm aroma, offering a gentle, less bitter alternative to traditional matcha.
This Hojicha powder features a light roasting process that preserves the delicate balance between subtle bitterness and creamy richness in its aromatic profile. Its deep, concentrated flavor makes it an ideal ingredient for baking: Hojicha lattes, ice creams, mousses, cakes, cookies, and Japanese confections. The intentionally light roasting reduces astringency and off-flavors, allowing perfect harmony with other sweet ingredients. Exported to Australia, Indonesia, and other countries, this powder reflects the international recognition of Japanese tea quality. Each bag contains 500 grams and guarantees at least 6 months of shelf life upon receipt, for a total of one year after production.
