Matcha's roasted sibling, ready to gift.
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 steamed milk turns it into a cozy latte. It's a good pick for the matcha fan on your list who'd like something a little toastier.
It's the same hojicha we sell all year, now in a holiday tin you can keep.
Flavor notes: roasted, nutty, chocolatey, earthy
Ingredients: roasted green tea
Allergens: made in a facility that handles tree nuts.

Questions
How is hojicha different from matcha?
Both are green tea powders, but hojicha is roasted first. It's brown instead of green, and it tastes earthy and nutty instead of grassy.
Does it have caffeine?
Yes. It's high in caffeine, still less than a cup of coffee.
How many drinks does one tin make?
About 18 at 1.5 teaspoons per 12 oz. Lighter or stronger, that's 13 to 27.
