Hojicha Powder - Organic
MEDIUM ROAST
Medium Roast.
Made from finely milled roasted green tea leaves, Hōjicha Powder brings the toasty richness of traditional Japanese tea into a modern, versatile form. With warm notes of caramel, cacao, and roasted hazelnut, it delivers depth without bitterness and comfort without the jitters.
Containing around 20–25 mg of caffeine per cup, it's a gentle pick-me-up that’s perfect for creamy lattes, mindful rituals, and slow, intentional sips. We especially love it poured over ice with a silky creamer float. Soothing, nostalgic and quietly indulgent.
A grounding cup for any time of day, earthy, elegant and endlessly calming.
