Description: 60g/tin. Hayashiya Uji Hojicha Powder is a premium Japanese roasted green tea made from select leaves sourced from Kyoto's Uji region. Unlike traditional matcha or sencha, this hojicha undergoes a unique deep-roasting process that creates a rich, nutty aroma and warm amber color while dramatically reducing caffeine content. This makes it a relaxing option suitable for any time of day, even evenings. Nutritionally, it retains antioxidants and is gentle on digestion, offering a soothing alternative to higher-caffeine teas. Compared to matcha, which is vibrant and grassy, or sencha, which offers a refreshing bite, Hayashiya's hojicha stands out for its mellow sweetness and roasted depth. The ultra-fine powder dissolves effortlessly into hot or iced beverages, making it ideal for lattes, smoothies, or baking. For a classic hojicha latte, simply whisk 1 to 2 teaspoons (2g) into 50ml hot water or milk, whisk vigorously until the powder is fully dissolved, then pour 180ml of cold milk into a glass filled with ice, slowly pour the hojicha over the milk and gently stir, add sugar or syrup to taste and enjoy.
