The grassy notes disappear and caramel, toasted-nut and warm-wood notes take their place. The cup is amber rather than green, naturally sweet, smooth, with a clean, dry finish and none of the astringency people expect from green tea.

The leaf is roasted and then ground to a fine powder, so, like matcha, you drink the whole leaf rather than an infusion of it. The extended high-temperature roast naturally lowers the caffeine compared with green tea, which is why it's gentle on the stomach and why it suits the end of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's getting quite popular for one simple reason: \u003cstrong\u003ehōjicha powder behaves like matcha in milk.\u003c\/strong\u003e Whisked with a splash of hot water and poured over milk, hot or iced, it makes a hōjicha latte that tastes like toast and caramel, and people who are certain they don't like green tea drink it and ask what it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Organic Hōjicha Tea Powder (Japan)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multivariety\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 g tin, or 100 g bag\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 40 g comes in a tin; the 100 g is packaged in a bag, as shown in the last image.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to prepare, a cup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut 1 g of hōjicha powder (about half a teaspoon) in a cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoil the water.
