HOJICHA POWDER | Japanese Hojicha Tea Powder
Japanese Hojicha Tea Powder - Roasted Green Tea | Ceremonial Grade
Japanese Hojicha tea powder is a roasted green tea — smooth, naturally low in caffeine, and deeply comforting. Roasted at high temperatures, hojicha powder has a distinctive amber hue and coffee-like aroma, with warm, nutty notes of cacao and wood.
