About Hojicha powder

Hojicha powder is roasted Japanese green tea leaves ground to a fine powder. Roasting gives the tea a brown colour and a toasty flavour. In a hojicha latte, the powder is whisked with hot water before milk is added; it can also be used as a tea-flavoured ingredient in desserts.

This entry means the tea powder itself, rather than a sweetened latte mix or a prepared drink. It is a different form from loose hojicha leaves: the ground tea remains in the finished food instead of being strained out after infusion. Product grind and roast level can change how it disperses and tastes.
