Wazuka Hōjicha Powder - Green tea

low caffeine - nutty - soothing

A roasted tea powder from Uji, Japan that’s pure comfort in a cup. Whisk it with water and add milk for a warm, toasty brew that relaxes and delights.

Hōjicha powder is roasted green tea ground to a fine texture. Prepared like matcha and usually enjoyed with milk, it gives a cozy, nutty drink that’s naturally low in caffeine – perfect for any time of day.

This hōjicha comes from a 5th generation tea garden in Wazuka Towan, Uji, Japan, grown without pesticides. The cool mountain air and big temperature swings between day and night give the leaves their distinctive taste. The Wazuka river flows through the town, surrounded by misty forests that gently shade the tea, enhancing its rich, toasty flavor.

How to brew
Sieve 1-2 tsp of powder into a bowl. Add about 100ml of 80°C water. Mix gently with a bamboo whisk (soak the whisk in warm water first to prevent breaking), then whisk until foamy. Add warm foamed milk of your choice and enjoy. Also delicious iced.
