Soar Organics - Organic Japanese Hojicha Powder - 100g

What is Hojicha Powder? Taste the traditional flavour of Japanese hojicha tea, but in powdered form! Soar Organics Hojicha Powder is a Japanese tea made from roasted green tea leaves. Hojicha is fired at high temperatures which alter its colour from green to reddish brown and create a flavour that can be described as robust, nutty and smoky. Similar to matcha, the tea leaves are ground into a powder that can be used for lattes, blended beverages and treats! Blended with Experience A wealth of experience and knowledge is required to bring out the true, rich flavour and aroma of hojicha. Soar Organics has partnered with a roasting specialist in Japan to develop a balanced blend of second and autumnal harvest leaves plus a dash of "kuki" (meaning "stems"). Kuki adds a richness that can only be found in the stem of the leaf.Low in CaffeineOne of the many attractive characteristics of hojicha is its low caffeine content. Hojicha is made from bigger green tea leaves of later harvests. These tea leaves contain much less natural caffeine when compared to a ceremonial grade matcha, for example. We invite you to enjoy a flavourful hojicha latte in the morning, afternoon or evening!Hojicha Powder BenefitsWhen you use hojicha powder you are consuming the whole-leaf which means you're getting an abundance of nutrients. Hojicha powder, like matcha, is full of healthy antioxidants and the amino acid L-Theanine. This delightful powder also has a pleasant aroma that will help you relax and unwind. How to Make a Hojicha Latte Sift ½ tsp. Soar Organics Hojicha Powder into bowl/cup. Pour 60ml (2oz) hot water onto powder. Whisk vigorously with “M” motions until your hojicha forms a frothy layer. Heat/steam 1 cup of your favourite milk over medium heat and add to hojicha. Add sweetener. We recommend coconut sugar and maple syrup!
