Roasted Tencha Hojicha Powder
50g
Azuma's Hojicha powder has been made by roasting shaded tencha tea leaves, usually used for processing matcha. After roasting the tencha, it is processed into powder, just like matcha. Most hojicha powder is made from bancha or summer/autumn sencha so this is an unusual find.
The rich, roasty flavour can be enjoyed fas a delicious hojicha latte, or can be used as a flavouring when making cake, ice cream, or other sweets.
Uses 100% Wazuka (Kyoto) grown tea. No artificial colouring, preservative, or chemical additives.

About The Growers: The Azuma Tea Garden is a family-operated, fourth-generation farm specializing in Tencha tea leaf cultivation and processing. Founded in the late 19th century the family manages tea fields in the mountains of Wazuka, Kyoto, Japan. While not fully certified organic yet, they are in the process of converting to organic cultivation.
"Wazuka-cho in Kyoto is known as the main production region of Uji tea. Surrounded by mountains, river, clean air and rich soil, Wazuka is a region suited for growing tea. Our tea fields are located in the eastern part of Wazuka-cho, where neither trains nor major road runs. The scenery of endless tea fields is designated as Kyoto's "cultural landscape"
