Yugen Hojicha - Ceremonial Japanese Hojicha Powder 50g (Stone-Ground)
Yugen Hojicha – Ceremonial Japanese Hojicha Powder 50g
Stone-Ground Roasted Green Tea Powder
Discover a new dimension of roasted tea with Yugen's ceremonial-grade hojicha powder – an elevated take on a comforting classic. Crafted in Kyoto using only the highest quality bancha tea leaves, this blend was developed with care, based on direct feedback from Yugen’s local tea community.
Flavour Profile
Expect a warm, toasty aroma with gentle umami and a subtle natural sweetness. Unlike most hojicha, Yugen’s is roasted more delicately, resulting in a smoother, more nuanced flavour that retains the character of the original tea leaves.
Stone-Ground Like Matcha
Using traditional stone mills (just 40g per hour), this powder is finely ground to a silky texture. The slow milling process preserves the aroma and flavour while producing a grain size ideal for lattes, baking, and delicate culinary applications.
Perfect For
- Creamy hojicha lattes
- Japanese and Western desserts
- Baking (think sponge cakes, cookies, custards)
- Culinary dishes needing a touch of warmth and depth
Crafted With Intention
Every detail from roasting time to milling temperature, is thoughtfully controlled to deliver a rich, aromatic hojicha that’s smooth, balanced, and deeply satisfying.
