This Hojichai powder blends finely milled hojicha (roasted green tea) with coconut milk, cinnamon, ginger, and other warming spices. It's a new, tropical-inspired twist on hojicha , bringing a breeze of the southern islands to your cup.
Ideal Powder For Smoothie
This powder pairs perfectly with banana and nut smoothies. The toasty flavor of hojicha pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of bananas, while the spices and coconut milk add a warm, tropical touch. The addition of nuts brings a creamy texture and a satisfying nutty depth.
Perfect for breakfast, a midday snack, or any time you want something filling and flavorful.
You can use any milk you like — dairy or plant-based. Oat milk or soy milk are great options for a vegan-friendly version.
Alternative to Hojichai Powder
You can make this smoothie by combining hojicha powder with a few spices. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.
