HOJICHA POWDER - 100g

Sourced directly from the legendary tea fields of Uji, Kyoto, Sorate Hojicha Powder brings the warmth and depth of Japan's roasted tea tradition to your cup. Carefully selected tea leaves are slow-roasted to perfection, yielding a smooth, earthy powder with notes of smoked chocolate and caramel — comforting, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.

Finely ground and incredibly versatile, this hojicha powder goes far beyond the teacup. Brew it as a traditional tea, whisk it into a latte, or fold it into desserts and savory recipes — however you choose to enjoy it, it brings a touch of quiet luxury to any time of day.

LOWER CAFFEINE, CALMING ENERGY
Unlike coffee or matcha, hojicha is naturally low in caffeine due to the roasting process, making it the perfect choice for evening drinking or for those sensitive to caffeine. It still contains L-Theanine, promoting a sense of calm focus without the jitters.

SUPPORTS DIGESTION
The roasting process that gives hojicha its distinctive flavor also makes it gentler on the stomach than other green teas. It is commonly recommended after meals to aid digestion and reduce bloating.

RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS
Hojicha contains catechins and polyphenols — powerful antioxidants that help protect the body against free radicals, reduce inflammation, and support overall cellular health.

CONTAINS VITAMINS & MINERALS SUCH AS
Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, and Fluoride — supporting bone health, immunity, and overall wellness.

DETOXIFIES THE BODY
Like other green teas, hojicha contains chlorophyll, which helps cleanse the blood and supports the body's natural ability to eliminate toxins and heavy metals.

PROMOTES RELAXATION
Hojicha's roasted compounds and low caffeine content make it a naturally soothing drink. It is widely enjoyed in Japan as an evening tea to unwind, calm the nervous system, and prepare the body for restful sleep.

Hojicha powder can be enjoyed two ways — whisked as a traditional bowl of tea, or prepared as a warming latte. Unlike matcha, hojicha is one of the most forgiving teas to prepare, as its roasting process means it won't turn bitter even at higher water temperatures.

Preparation as Hojicha Tea (the traditional way)

• Sift 2 teaspoons of Hojicha Powder into a Chawan bowl to remove any lumps.
• Pour 70ml (2.46fl oz) of hot water into the Chawan. The water temperature should be 176°F (80°C).
• Using a bamboo Chasen, whisk vigorously in a quick zigzag motion until a light foam appears on top.
• Enjoy as is, or add a touch of honey or brown sugar to taste.

Preparation as a Hojicha Latte

• Sift 1 teaspoon of Hojicha Powder into a bowl or cup.
• Add 60ml (2fl oz) of hot water at 176°F (80°C) and whisk until smooth, creating a concentrated paste.
• Steam or froth 180ml (6fl oz) of milk — dairy or oat milk both work beautifully — and pour over the hojicha concentrate.
• Sweeten with honey or maple syrup if desired, and enjoy hot or over ice.
