Org Hoji-Matcha

Certified Organic Stone ground Hojicha

Dark roasted twig tea powder gives a toasty warm cup when whisked up with your favorite milk &/or sweet (we like Vermont Maple of course*). If you like our matcha (whether as a latte, or iced), our hoji-matcha is a great one to try. Similar in style, but noticeably dark, warm, & toasty.

Great hot, iced, & for your baking recipes.

• really, it does pair very well with maple syrup!

Some Notes Concerning Matcha:

It the full leaf of the plant, made into green tea, and stone-ground into a fine powder. Unlike all our other teas, you drink/eat the leaf! This makes it that much more important to know where your matcha comes from. All our lower priced Matcha teas are certified Organic to give added assurance of quality. Higher grade matcha may not be certified organic, but has been grown and processed with the strictest standards.

Making Matcha:

In general, a little goes a long way. No matter how your making it, the following is a rough guide:

For making it Hot, 1 tsp per 2-3oz hot water. There’s no better way than using a chasen, or bamboo whisk. Choose from our Master Crafted Japanese Chasen, or value (and works great) bamboo whisk.

For making it Cold, we recommend starting with 1/2 tsp per 12oz.

For baking, 1 tbs per batch added to the flour base.
