About Super Premium Kuki Hojicha
Copper Tea’s Super Premium Kuki Hojicha Powder distinguishes itself through a meticulous selection of tea stems (kuki), prized for their naturally higher concentrations of volatile aromatic compounds such as pyrazines and furans compared to tea leaves. This precise focus on tea stems allows for a delicately nuanced fragrance profile unmatched by regular hojicha.
Intentionally subjected to a gentle roasting process at carefully controlled lower temperatures, this premium powder maintains a subtle, green-tinged chestnut hue indicative of superior hojicha quality—distinct from darker, less aromatic counterparts. The result is an elegantly refined tea characterized by sophisticated aromas reminiscent of caramelized sugars, lightly toasted sesame, and subtle notes of roasted chestnut.
The expertly controlled roasting also ensures a lower caffeine content while preserving the tea’s complexity and freshness. The powdered form integrates seamlessly into culinary creations, providing consistent aromatic intensity and refined flavour profiles.
Packed in a resealable 50g pouch, Copper Tea’s Kuki Hojicha ensures optimal freshness, offering convenience and reliability for culinary professionals and tea connoisseurs alike.
Kuki Hojicha Powder is ideal for:
- Specialty lattes and milk-based beverages
- Ganaches, pastry creams, chocolates
- Delicate baked goods (chiffon, castella, sable)
- Sophisticated sauces, caramel bases, and glazes
