Matcha's deliciously roasted sibling.
Our hojicha is green tea that's roasted, then ground into a fine powder. It whisks up a soft brown color with earthy, nutty and chocolatey notes, and it makes a cozy latte with steamed milk.
You make it exactly like matcha, so if you have a bamboo whisk or electric latte whisk, you're set.
Flavor notes: roasted, nutty, chocolatey, earthy
Ingredients: roasted green tea
Allergens: made in a facility that handles tree nuts.
Caffeine: yes
How to Make It

- Top with steamed or iced milk, or more water, to make a 12 oz drink.
