俳句ほうじ茶
80g
Take a part of Haiku home, poured daily in our cafe, now available in-store in Haiku Future and online, we source our Hojicha from a well known grower of premium Matcha and Hojicha in Uji, Kyoto, Japan. Our second of our green tea collection, our premium Hojicha powder delivers the earthy, roasted flavour profile with a nutty aftertaste much like chocolate.
Why Hojicha
Subtle sweet, roasty, nutty, caramilzed and uniquely smoky, no wonder it has become so popular in recent times. Enjoyed as a tradtional Hojicha tea, in a smoothie, in a latte or used in desserts and cakes, let Hojicha charm your taste buds. We should mention the various health benefits that come with the taste, packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, your immune system will thank you. Enjoy boosted energy levels with lower caffeine levels than coffee and healthy digestion and more power to your gut.
Texture
Hojicha shows off with a signature reddish-brown colour, different to that of Matcha. We ensure our producer uses only the best leaves rolled tight and roasted to perfection, to deliver that smoky umami. Haiku Hojicha powder is then produced using the jet milling process for finer powder for finer cups of tea.
Freshness
Our Hojicha, alongside with our Matcha is blended monthly on order and air freighted in from Japan at peak freshness. We rely directly on tea farmers, rather than trading companies, paying our producers the right price for the right quality.
Sustainability
Committed to ethical and sustainable practices, our Hojicha is grown responsibily, free of radiation, heavy metals, pesticides and bacteria.
