This rich Hojicha powder is made of Karinaoshi Bancha tea leaves harvested late in the first spring season. It is grown in the exceptional tea terroir of Ujitawara and Wazuka prefectures, Kyoto. This artisanal Hojicha blend is milled to a very fine 10 microns powder and delivers roasted notes of hazelnuts and slightly caramel-like flavours. This green tea powder is of premium quality, is low in caffeine and is delicious as a latte base.
