Artisan Grade Slow-Roasted Hojicha Powder

As the lesser-known, shy cousin of matcha, she enters not with a shout, but a gentle whisper of caramelized chocolate and roasted nuts. Her nature is gentle and without bitterness, her texture velvety and supple. She finishes with the comfort of a warm hug of hot cocoa, leaving behind only a hint of dry elegance to win you over with her underrated charm.
