Houjicha Light Roast for Latte, Unsweetened (1kg)
Houjicha Light Roast Powder offers a delicate yet richly nuanced flavor, perfect for those who appreciate a lighter, more subtle tea experience.
Made from carefully roasted green tea leaves, this powder exudes a soft, toasty aroma with hints of warm chestnuts and caramelized sugar. The light roasting brings out a gentle sweetness while maintaining the earthy essence of the tea, resulting in a smooth and balanced flavor.
When whisked into a latte or brewed on its own, the light roast houjicha creates a velvety, comforting drink that’s naturally low in bitterness.
Each sip reveals layers of toasted nuttiness, mild smokiness, and a mellow, almost creamy finish. It's an inviting, versatile tea that offers a soothing, cozy experience while still delivering the signature depth of houjicha’s roasted profile, but with a lighter, airier touch.

How to Brew
Latte: Sift 4g of houjicha into your bowl. Add 30ml of water and whisk in circular motions until smooth and clump-free, forming a thick paste. Gently add 20ml of hot water and whisk in a “W” motion until you achieve a creamy consistency and a fine foam appears.
To finish, lightly glide your whisk across the surface to smooth the texture and break large bubbles, then lift it gently from the center.
For an iced latte, pour 100ml of your desired milk into a glass with ice. For a hot latte, steam 100ml of your desired milk into a mug.
Pour your prepared houjicha over your milk, mix, and enjoy!
How to Store
Keep your houjicha stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from humidity and light. For best flavor, consume within about six months of shipping.
