KIE - Premium Organic Houjicha Powder 1kg

Description With its rich dark color, KIE is an organic houjicha powder brought to us from the mountains of Nagasaki Prefecture. A dark, mahogany brown powder, KIE has notes of dark chocolate, dates, tobacco and burnt sugar. An exceedingly rich bouquet that has us wishing it could be bottled as perfume. Representing a darker and more sophisticated entry in our houjicha series, KIE has a more robust profile that cuts through any milk for a flavorful latte experience. Served straight, it has a full body with a startlingly clean, fresh aftertaste with hints of apricot. Strong but refined, with hints of black coffee when first introduced to hot water, but none of the bitterness or acidity. This Houjicha is currently a best-seller and staple in many coffees in Europe and US. Houjicha latte with a sesame twist: mix 1,5 - 2 teaspoon of sesame paste with 1,5 teaspoon of brown sugar and 150 to 200ml of hot milk. Mix well. Then whisk 3-4g of houjicha powder with 80ml of water at 80C. Pour the milk into the houjicha. For a straight houjicha powder drink: whisk 1g of powder in 80-100ml of water at 80C.
