Tsushi Hojicha

Tsushi Hojicha is a roasted tea powder developed for smooth, aromatic hojicha latte.

Its warm roasted character, nutty aroma and gentle bitterness pair especially well with milk, creating a comforting drink that works both hot and iced.

Unlike matcha, hojicha is defined by its roasted flavour profile. Expect a deeper, toastier cup with less grassy character and a softer overall finish.

FAQ

Is Tsushi Hojicha the same as matcha?
No. Hojicha has a roasted, nutty and toastier flavour, while matcha is greener, grassier and more umami-forward.

Is it suitable for latte?
Yes. Tsushi Hojicha is especially suited to hot and iced hojicha latte.

Can I use plant-based milk?
Yes. Oat milk, soy milk and other plant-based milk options can work well, although sweetness and body will vary.

Does it contain added flavouring?
The roasted and nutty impressions describe the natural flavour character of hojicha rather than added coffee or nut flavouring.
