The resulting finely ground powder carries everything that makes the loose-leaf hōjicha distinctive - the toasted hazelnut fragrance, the warm nutty sweetness, the green-leaf freshness beneath the roast - with none of the steeping time and none of the straining. This is because the powder dissolves completely into liquid, it integrates fully with hot water or milk, producing a richer, more immediate expression of the hōjicha character. The amber colour deepens, the aroma is more concentrated, and the texture has a gentle body. It is especially suited to lattes, where the roasted sweetness of hōjicha pairs naturally with the softness of steamed milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all roasted teas, it is naturally low in caffeine, and therefore an unhurried drink for any time of day, and particularly good in the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Prepare\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs tea: Whisk 4g of powder into 30cc of hot water (80–90°C) until fully dissolved and smooth.
