Japanese Hojicha Toasted Matcha
Rich, malty, and chocolatey, this toasted green tea makes a fantastic tea latte.
It is crafted from finely ground green tea - like a normal matcha - but what makes this powdered green tea so special is that the leaf and stem has first been toasted to become a hojicha. You could also call this tea ground hojicha or hojicha powder.
The colour is nutty brown rather than green - and the resulting tea is much lower in caffeine.
Fill your pot with the all-round good teas from the Rare Tea Company, curators of fine tea from across the globe.
There’s a lot that has to happen for Rare Tea Company to class a tea as “good.” Firstly, exceptional taste is a must and they personally search out tea gardens and farmers delivering remarkable flavours.
Next, the tea must be grown using organic, sustainable methods. There are no pesticides or herbicides on any of their supplier farms. Their packaging is just as green too – free from the bleaches, glue and microplastics often used by other brands.
What’s more, the Rare Tea Company will only work with farms where workers are treated fairly and responsibly. And they also cut out the middleman, working directly with their farmers, which keeps the value of the tea where it belongs – with the people who grow it.
From a delicate chamomile tea made of whole flowers, to a perfectly balanced Earl Grey, take your tea time up a notch with their range.
