Horii Shichimeien Hojicha Powder

Hojicha powder is made from a roasted green tea that is pulverized  to a fine powder with a consistency similar to matcha. One of the ingredients used is the stems of tencha tea, the raw material for matcha, which gives it a rich fragrance.

Roasted tea has a particularly good aroma when it is freshly roasted, so Horii Shichimeien process the roasted tea immediately and turn it into powder. Therefore, the aroma is preserved and the taste is less bitter and astringent.

The fine powder has aromas of aromatic wood, cocoa and coffee and is great for using to make baked goods and desserts, ice cream, and Hojicha latte. 

Horii Shichimeien, founded in 1879, still manage the 600-year-old Okunuoyama Tea Garden in Uji, Kyoto. This garden is the only survivor of 7 historic tea gardens in Kyoto.
