WAKABA Organic Hojicha Powder for Cafés and Professional Use

WAKABA Organic Hojicha Powder is a finely ground Japanese roasted green tea developed for cafés, bakeries, restaurants and foodservice businesses.

It has a warm roasted aroma with nutty, gently caramel-like notes and a smooth finish. Its distinctive flavour works especially well with milk, plant-based alternatives, chocolate and other dessert ingredients, making it a versatile choice for hojicha lattes, iced drinks, ice cream, gelato, cakes and pastry applications.

WAKABA is a Japanese-led tea specialist based in Düsseldorf, Germany. Since opening our first matcha café in 2018, we have gained practical experience preparing and serving Japanese tea in a European café environment. We use this experience when selecting products for professional customers—not only considering flavour and quality, but also how they perform in everyday café and kitchen operations.
