Nishizawa En Dark Hojicha Powder (100g)

Nishizawa En Dark Hojicha Powder is an authentic, stone-milled Japanese roasted green tea powder crafted from tencha stems and leaves grown in Kyoto Prefecture. Utilizing tencha components combined with an intensive roasting process yields a bold, complex cup with distinct notes of dark cocoa, roasted nuts, and a clean caramel finish.

Because the high-heat roasting process naturally reduces caffeine levels compared to unroasted green teas, this dark hojicha offers a significantly lower-caffeine profile suitable for afternoon or evening enjoyment. Its dense, toasty structure stands up exceptionally well to dairy and plant-based milks, making it an ideal base for rich hot or iced hojicha lattes.
