Description

If you like Matcha, this might be an interesting alternative. You make it similarly: Add one or two scoops into a bowl and whisk it into a foam. Many people enjoy the roasted tea stem flavors. Hojicha, a Japanese specialty, contains roasted twigs from some of the best tea gardens in Uji. One of the joys of Japanese food stores is the smell of fresh, roasted Hojicha. It is reminiscent of coffee, but sweeter.

Ingredients

Green tea.
