Nutrient-rich Arabikicha & Hojicha Powder

Get all your vitamins, fiber, and catechins!

Arabikicha is a powdered tea made from the highly functional varieties "Yutakamidori" and "Saemidori," finished with advanced roasting techniques. You can enjoy the rich flavor unique to first-flush tea, its vibrant green color, and its thick, deep richness and aroma.

Hojicha powder is made by finely grinding tea leaves that have been carefully deep-roasted in-house. It offers a fragrant, rich flavor and the gentle sweetness characteristic of hojicha. Since it's powdered, the appeal is that you can ingest 100% of the tea leaves' nutrients. Because it uses whole roasted tea leaves, it's darker in color than regular hojicha and its fragrance is even more pronounced.

Did you know that regular teapot tea only provides 35% of the tea leaf's nutrients? The remaining 65% is discarded as spent tea leaves.

Amidst this, powdered tea is gaining attention.
By drinking tea leaves entirely in powdered form, you can fully absorb nutrients such as catechins, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber.

• Health: Antioxidant effects from tea catechins and minerals.
  
  

• Beauty: Dietary fiber and vitamin C for inner beauty.
  
  

• Refreshing: Chlorophyll for a fresh mouth.
  
  

Powdered tea is a perfect blend of nutrition, deliciousness, and convenience, ideal for modern lifestyles.

Not just for drinking! Edible tea.

Arabikicha and Hojicha powder can be enjoyed not only as a beverage but also as "edible tea" by mixing them into dishes. Because the entire tea leaf is used, the advantage is that you can fully absorb nutrients such as dietary fiber, vitamins, and catechins. Simply adding it to your usual menu enhances the fragrant flavor and deep richness, and also boosts the nutritional value. Why not incorporate it into fun Halloween arrangements that are also good for your body?
