AYA - Premium Kuki Houjicha Powder 1kg Bulk

Description

Made from tea stems (kukicha), this premium Yame houjicha powder immediately stands out with a unique visual and olfactory identity. 

Its pastel brown powder, lighter than usual, hints at a refined profile. From the first whiff, it's not the usual roasted intensity that dominates, but a surprising freshness and a pronounced spice bouquet. In the bowl, the powder releases a powerful and comforting aroma reminiscent of lightly sweetened hot chocolate, marking a delightful transition to the tasting.

After whisking, this profile remains, retaining its lightness and spicy fragrances while taking on a more humid dimension. However, this houjicha powder reveals its full potential when prepared as a latte.

Beneath a generous creme and café au lait color, a nostalgic, almost childlike flavor unfolds, thanks to its natural sweetness. Here, the woody and roasted notes are subtle, acting as a mere backdrop to the dominant spice notes. The experience on the palate is ethereal, devoid of bitterness, with a powdery texture so fine it's almost imperceptible, leaving an impression of pure indulgence.
