Description
Good & Proper Hojicha Powder is made from Japanese roasted green tea, finely ground into a smooth powder for easy preparation. Roasting transforms the character of the tea, producing warm, toasted flavours with a mellow sweetness and very little of the grassy character normally associated with green tea.
Ideal for preparing hojicha lattes and other hot or iced drinks, the powdered format makes it quick and simple to create a rich, comforting tea with a distinctive roasted flavour.

Hojicha Latte – Brewing & Serving Guide
A simple recipe for a warming Hojicha Latte.
What You Need
- 3g Hojicha Powder
- 30ml water at approximately 80°C
- Around 180ml milk for an 8oz cup – oat milk works particularly well
Method
- Sieve 3g of Hojicha Powder into a small, high-sided bowl or chawan.
- Add a small amount of the 80°C water and whisk into a smooth paste until no lumps remain.
- Add the remaining water and whisk using a zig-zag motion until smooth and lightly frothy.
- Steam approximately 180ml of your preferred milk.
- Pour the steamed milk over the prepared Hojicha shot and serve.
Avoid using boiling water. Around 80°C allows the smooth, roasted and naturally mellow character of the Hojicha to come through without introducing unnecessary bitterness.
Iced Hojicha Latte
Prepare the 3g Hojicha Powder and 30ml water at 80°C in the same way. Fill a glass with ice, add approximately 180ml of cold milk or your preferred plant-based alternative, then pour in the prepared Hojicha and stir well.
Common Uses
Ideal for making traditional-style hojicha drinks, hot or iced hojicha lattes and blended tea drinks. It can also be used to add its characteristic roasted tea flavour to desserts, baking and other sweet recipes.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours. Keep securely sealed after opening to maintain freshness, flavour and aroma.
