Marukyu Koyamaen's Hojicha powder is made by roasting carefully selected roasted green tea leaves and then ground to a powdered form for easy consumption. The light brown coloured powder can be used in the same way as matcha powder, and gives off a mild roasted flavour once baked, but lacks the herbaceousness of matcha. Some noticeable astringency and aftertaste is observed when mixed in with cream, hence making this powder a good pairing with milk or alternative milk equivalents, hot or cold.
Marukyu Koyamaen's '丸久小山園', history spans 300 years, and epitomises a commitment to quality in tea production. Located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, this esteemed tea grower, procurer, and blender boasts a private estate dating back to 1704. Their range of Japanese green teas are meticulously crafted through a combination of traditional and modern techniques and remains unparalleled in the world of Matcha making. Favoured by the tea schools, shrines, temples and widely seen in the kitchens of some of the world's best restaurants and hotels, the Marukyu Koyamaen name today is far reaching and widely recognised.
