Hojicha Powder (Roasted Green Tea)

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.
