Bio Hojicha 40 g
Hojicha by DIET-FOOD is a 100% organic green tea powder made from leaves harvested in autumn. It stands out thanks to its unique high-temperature roasting process, which gives the leaves their characteristic dark brown color and a distinctive flavor profile. The infusion delights with a gentle smoky aroma and a naturally sweet taste with noticeable notes of caramel and nuts. Thanks to these qualities, hojicha is an excellent alternative to traditional green tea, especially for those looking for a milder and less bitter beverage.
The roasting process reduces the caffeine content, making hojicha suitable for consumption at any time of day – even in the evening. It is valued as part of a balanced diet and as an ingredient in beverages, desserts, and baked goods, to which it adds a unique taste and aroma.
What makes hojicha increasingly popular? It is the combination of traditional Japanese tea processing methods with a gentle effect and a unique sensory profile. Thanks to roasting, the tea gains not only flavor but also a light and easy-to-digest character, appreciated by people with sensitive digestive systems.
Preparation method
How to prepare hojicha?
Use 2–3 g of powder per 250 ml of water at a temperature of 75–90°C. Brew for 1–3 minutes. The drink can also be used as an addition to milk, smoothies, desserts, or baked goods.
What is the difference between hojicha and matcha?
Hojicha and matcha are two types of powdered green tea that differ in both processing and characteristics. Matcha is made from dried tea leaves that are finely ground, which gives it a vibrant green color and a higher caffeine content. Hojicha, on the other hand, is roasted, resulting in a brown color, a milder taste, and lower caffeine levels.
In terms of flavor, matcha is more vegetal and slightly bitter, while hojicha offers a smooth, smoky aroma with notes of caramel and nuts. This makes hojicha an excellent choice for those who prefer a gentler, less intense tea.
