Organic Hojicha Powder

Great quality and taste. I was a bit hesitant to try BUT this is amazing!! It is a great replacement for matcha but beware, has flavor. It dilutes really well. This one in particular is very good quality. It is a brownish color as opposed to matcha that is green.

If you don’t like Matcha because of the grassy flavor, then you might want to check out this tea instead. It has the most comforting, delicious roasted flavor that I’ve ever tasted in a tea. It was divine when I combined it with half-and-half and then poured it over ice. The powder in this product also incorporates very well into a liquid, especially when it’s warm. You don’t even need water that’s boiling for it to be stirred properly. I would actually recommend not bringing the water to a full boil because you will scold the tea and wreck the flavor. I will be buying this again. That’s how much I like it.

Very good taste of Hōjicha, but it's a bit too pricey with small amounts. Other than that, it's good

I mix with lactose free milk and ice with a little monk fruit sweetener. Super yummy

Delicious for lattes

Not very good quality. To me it tastes more like Thai tea not so much like hojicha. Very weak hojicha flavor. And it’s taste sweet without adding sugar which makes me feel like it might have added sugar. I would not buy again.

This is not the best powdered Houjicha I have had. To be fair, I did purchase it for drinking, although it does list baking/culinary use. Unfortunately, it (my batch at least) has a bitter burnt smell to it, resembling a bit of the sharpness of dark roasted coffee. Other houjichas I have tried have the roasted flavor, but it is mellow and rich that does not smell burnt. It made me sad, because I love houjicha. The flavor is not as bad as the smell, but it is not particularly appealing either. It needs to be in a latte and/or sweetened to taste good. I will try baking with it to see if it is better that way.

Buen sabor, fácil de preparar
