First flush hōjicha powder – gently roasted, warm, nutty and mild.

RYOKU Hōjicha Powder is a high-quality Japanese organic hōjicha made from first-flush tea leaves, finely ground into a versatile powder. Thanks to the gentle roasting, the character of the green tea changes completely – instead of grassy and green, it becomes warm, nutty, deep brown and especially mild.

The taste is reminiscent of roasted nuts, cocoa and fine caramel notes, while staying clear and light. Hōjicha naturally contains less caffeine than many other green teas, which makes it especially good for quiet afternoons, cosy evenings or a warm latte ritual without coffee.

As a powder, hōjicha is wonderfully versatile: classically as a hōjicha latte, cold in the shaker, with plant milk, in smoothies, desserts, as a topping on yoghurt or porridge, or for baking. A cosy green tea ritual for anyone looking for depth, warmth and a soft taste.

Taste

Warm, nutty and mild.
With fine roasted aromas, a light caramel note and hardly any bitterness.

Preparation

Barista style / hōjicha latte

Add 2–3 g hōjicha powder to a cup or small bowl. That’s about 1–2 teaspoons.

If there are visible lumps, sift the powder briefly or crush it with a small spoon.

Add about 50 ml water at 80–90 °C and whisk into a smooth paste. A bamboo whisk or milk frother works especially well for this.

Then top up with 150–200 ml warm or cold milk or plant milk.

For a warm latte: froth the milk hot and add it to the hōjicha.
For an iced latte: put milk with or without ice in the glass, add the hōjicha paste and stir.

Finish with a little syrup or spices such as cinnamon to taste.
