Why We Recommend This Hojicha Powder
This hojicha powder comes from the same Yame producer behind our Nutty Yame Matcha. Careful roasting transforms the tea into a mellow, comforting powder with a rounded aroma and very little bitterness, making it easy to enjoy even for customers who are new to Japanese tea.
Produced in Yame and certified under Japan’s Organic JAS standard.
The warm roasted flavor remains noticeable when combined with dairy or plant-based milk.
The generous 100g pouch is practical for frequent lattes, baking, and desserts.
Flavor Profile
Warm and mellow, with toasted and gently nutty notes, a soft natural sweetness, and very little bitterness or astringency. When combined with milk, it develops a round, comforting, dessert-like character. Its roasted aroma also remains noticeable in baking and sweet recipes.
The flavor profile is based on MatchaJP’s tasting evaluation and is intended as a general guide.
Flavor perception may vary depending on preparation method, milk, dosage, and personal preference.
Perfect for Hot and Iced Hojicha Lattes
Hojicha powder pairs naturally with milk. Its roasted character remains present without becoming grassy or sharply bitter, creating a smooth and comforting latte. Many customers enjoy it with little or no added sweetener, although sweetness can be adjusted to taste.
Place about 2g (approximately 1 tsp) of hojicha powder in a cup or bowl. Use up to 3g for a richer flavor.
Add 60ml (2 fl oz) of hot water at about 90°C / 194°F, then whisk or stir until smooth.
Pour in 150–200ml (5–7 fl oz) of hot or cold milk. Sweeten to taste.
Why Choose the 100g (3.53 oz) Size?
The 100g pouch is ideal for customers who regularly prepare hojicha lattes or use hojicha in baking. It provides enough powder for repeated use while remaining practical for home storage.

A Mellow Alternative to Matcha
Hojicha is generally lower in caffeine than matcha and many unroasted Japanese green teas. Its warm roasted aroma and gentle flavor make it an approachable option when you prefer a softer, less grassy Japanese tea.
Hojicha contains caffeine and is not caffeine-free. Exact caffeine content may vary depending on the tea and serving size.
Why Yame Hojicha?
Yame is one of Japan’s respected tea-producing regions. Its climate, tea-growing culture, and careful production are known for creating teas with depth and softness. After roasting, this character becomes a rounded and gently sweet hojicha rather than an excessively smoky one.
Certified Organic and Carefully Roasted
This product is certified under Japan’s Organic JAS standard. The tea leaves are carefully roasted to develop sweetness and aroma, then finely milled into a powder suitable for milk, batters, creams, and dessert recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Organic JAS mean?
Organic JAS is Japan’s official organic certification system. Certified products must meet the applicable Japanese organic production and inspection requirements and may display the Organic JAS mark.
Is this powder suitable for lattes?

Does hojicha contain caffeine?
Yes. Hojicha contains caffeine and is not caffeine-free. It is generally lower in caffeine than matcha and many unroasted Japanese green teas, although the exact amount varies by product and serving size.
Can I drink it straight like matcha?
