Jade Leaf Hojicha Powder is an organic, roasted Japanese green tea powder with a mild, nutty flavor and low caffeine, ideal for lattes, iced drinks, and baking.
Hojicha is distinct from typical green teas because the leaves are gently roasted, producing toasty, caramel-like notes with very little bitterness. This 50g Barita Edition from Jade Leaf Matcha uses first-harvest leaves and is prepared as a fine powder so you can whisk it similarly to matcha. It’s USDA Organic and crafted to perform in hot, iced, and blended recipes while keeping caffeine naturally low.
How does Jade Leaf Hojicha taste and how is it different from matcha?
The roasting process gives hojicha a warm, toasted aroma and a mellow, nutty flavor that lacks the vegetal sharpness of matcha. Where matcha is grassy and bright, hojicha feels smooth and almost coffee-like without the bitterness, making it approachable for those who prefer rounder flavor profiles.
- Toasty, caramel and nut undertones rather than grassy or vegetal notes.
- Smoother mouthfeel and less astringency than traditional matcha.
- Low natural caffeine—suitable for later in the day.
What are the best ways to prepare and use this powdered hojicha?
Because it’s a fine powder, you can whisk it into hot water like matcha or blend it directly into milk for a creamy latte. It also integrates well into smoothies, shakes, and baked goods, where its roasted character enhances sweet and savory recipes alike.
- Whisk with 80–90°C water for a smooth hot cup.
- Mix with steamed or frothed milk for lattes, hot or iced.
- Fold into batters, creams, or smoothies for subtle roasted flavor.

How much caffeine is in a serving and when is it best to drink?

- Approximately 5–10 mg caffeine per serving, variable by scoop and steeping.
