Origin: Shizuoka, Kagoshima Harvest: First & Second Harvests Cultivar: Yabukita Tasting Profile: Hojicha powder is as fine as matcha, yet it will feel a bit rough to your tongue. Thus, its use as an ingredient in food items is ideal rather than drinking it straight. Recipes: Try this powder by replacing matcha with the same amount to make lattes or any other matcha food item you like. We specifically recommend it in any cold treat such as iced hojicha latte, tiramisu or ice cream!
