Hojicha, expertly blended with coconut sugar for a perfectly toasty, comforting taste. Deep roasted green tea notes meet the nutty sweetness of coconut sugar, creating a smooth, balanced latte experience.
Like matcha, it begins as Japanese green tea. The difference? It's gently roasted before being ground, unlocking a smooth, nutty, malty profile while naturally lowering the caffeine and astringency. The result is rich, rounded and easy to drink without the sharpness.

How do you brew?
Blendsmiths Made Three Ways
Latte Art Method
1. In a cup, mix your blend with a splash of hot water until smooth.
2. Steam your milk to flat white texture.
3. Pour milk into the blend and create your art!
Steamed Together
1. Pour 220ml (alt)milk into a jug and add your blend on top.
2. Steam to your preferred temperature and pour into your cup.
Note: Some natural ingredients (like cinnamon) don’t fully dissolve. For a smoother texture, strain the drink before serving.
Iced
1. Fill a cup with ice and half its volume with cold milk.
2. In a jug or bowl, whisk your blend with the remaining milk until smooth.
– For a bolder flavour, gently steam this mixture (warming helps release the ingredients’ full potential).
3. Pour over the iced milk and enjoy.

Tips, Tricks & Answers
What is Hojicha?
Hojicha is a Japanese green tea that is roasted rather than steamed. The roasting process gives it a warm, nutty flavour with notes of caramel and toast.
How is Hojicha different from Matcha?
Matcha is made from shade-grown green tea leaves that are stone-ground into powder and have a fresh, grassy flavour. Hojicha is roasted, giving it a darker colour and a warm, nutty taste.
Is Hojicha bitter?
No. Roasting reduces the bitterness often associated with green tea, resulting in a mellow and naturally sweet taste.
Does Hojicha contain caffeine?
Yes, but much less than most green teas or matcha. The roasting process naturally lowers the caffeine content, making it a gentler option.
