Bite-Sized Hojicha Chocolates

When we do Japanese green tea workshops in Europe, we sometimes prepare these chocolates. People discover this new flavor Hojicha 焙じ茶, roasted green tea,  and people really love it. The combination of Hojicha and Genmai gives toasted flavor and very pleasant aromatic smell.

Hojicha is Japanese green tea roasted over high heat. It is a tea with low level in caffeine. Hojicha Powder is fine Hojicha brown powder with a delicious toasted aroma. Its texture allows to combine it well with other ingredients in the production of sweets.

Genmai is toasted glutinous brown rice to prepare Genmaicha, but it is also used for cooking.

You can get all these ingredients in our online store.
