This earthy Hojicha Powder (Dark Roast) has nutty, smokey, chocolatey and coffee-like flavour.

The process of roasting tea leaves at high temperatures is the essence of Hojicha. During this process, the moisture in the tea leaves evaporates, creating a fragrant aroma while reducing bitterness and astringency. The strength of the aroma and flavour varies depending on the roasting time and temperature, making the skill of the craftsman important. Compared to Matcha, Hojicha has lower caffeine.
