FKRO Organic Hojicha Powder — 100g Stone-Milled Roasted Green Tea, Smooth Nutty Flavor for Lattes & Baking

Harvested from pesticide-free Yabukita plants and roasted by fourth-generation tea master Sakuya-san, this 100g (3.5oz) jar delivers a gentle toasted aroma with caramel-like undertones. Monthly-fresh batches are milled slowly on stone wheels to preserve texture and flavor, making it a versatile ingredient for both hot and cold preparations.

What makes FKRO Hojicha different from other tea powders?

Unlike more vegetal green teas, hojicha is roasted, producing a mellow, toasty character with low astringency. FKRO begins with single-origin, first-harvest leaves and applies a traditional roasting method along with stone milling to achieve a fine powder and balanced aroma.

• Single-origin Yabukita cultivar from Tenryū, Shizuoka.
• First-harvest leaves for pronounced fragrance and balance.
• Expert roasting by a 4th-generation tea master for smoky-sweet notes.
• Slow stone-milling preserves texture and aromatic compounds.

How should I prepare FKRO Hojicha for a latte or iced drink?

FKRO Hojicha dissolves smoothly in warm milk or milk alternatives, and it also makes a fragrant cold-brew concentrate. For lattes, bloom the powder with a small amount of hot liquid, then whisk or froth into warmed milk; for iced drinks, blend the concentrate over ice for a balanced flavor.

• Hot latte: 1–1.5 tsp powder + 30ml hot water, whisk, then add 200ml steamed milk.
• Iced latte: make a chilled concentrate (2 tsp in 60ml cold water), pour over ice and milk.
• Smoothies: blend 1 tsp with fruit, yogurt, or plant milk for a toasted note.
• Sweeten to taste — caramel or vanilla pair naturally with hojicha.

Can I use FKRO Hojicha in baking and desserts?

Yes — the toasted, nutty qualities of FKRO Hojicha integrate well into both baked goods and chilled desserts. It enhances cakes, cookies, custards, and ice creams with a subtle caramel-roast flavor without overpowering other components.

• Baked goods: fold 1–2 tsp into batter for cakes, muffins, or cookies.
• Creams & custards: whisk ½–1 tsp into pastry cream or panna cotta mixes.
• Ice cream & gelato: infuse milk with powder for smooth, even flavor.
• Confections: dust finished desserts for aroma and visual contrast.

How is freshness and quality ensured for this product?

FKRO ships monthly-fresh batches from Japan to retain aroma and texture. The combination of first-harvest leaves, artisan roasting, and stone milling reduces heat damage and preserves the powder’s natural sweetness and smoky character.

• Monthly-fresh production schedule for peak aroma.
• Pesticide-free cultivation in the Tenryū mountain region.
• Stone milling minimizes friction heat and keeps texture fine.
• Packaged to protect against light and moisture for longer shelf stability.
