Product Introduction
Our bulk hojicha powder is produced for commercial beverage environments where consistency and workflow efficiency matter. We roast steamed green tea leaves at controlled temperatures between 200°C and 250°C, then mill the result to a fine powder that disperses readily in hot or cold liquids. This medium-roast profile delivers a balanced nutty, caramel-like aroma without the bitterness that can disrupt dairy-based drink formulations.
Unlike commodity tea powders that vary batch to batch, our factory controls the roast curve and particle size distribution at the source. The result is a bulk hojicha powder designed for cafe chains, beverage manufacturers, and private-label brands that need repeatable results across thousands of servings. Every lot is tested for moisture and microbial compliance before release.

Wide Applications
Cafe & Tea Bar Lattes
Formulated for rapid whisking and milk integration. The medium roast provides a caramel-toast note that complements oat, soy, and dairy milks without curdling or sediment build-up in steam wands.
Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Beverages
Fine particle size supports uniform suspension in canned or bottled hojicha drinks. Thermal processing stability maintains flavor profile through pasteurization.
Bakery & Pastry Fillings
Blends smoothly into creams, custards, and buttercreams for hojicha-flavored cakes, macarons, and sandwich cookies. Provides color and roasted aroma without excess moisture introduction.

Why Choose Our Factory
We are a source manufacturer, not a trading intermediary. Our roasting and milling lines are dedicated to tea powders, which means we control the variables that cause batch inconsistency: leaf grade, roast temperature, cooling time, and grind uniformity. B2B buyers receive direct technical support, rapid sample turnaround, and transparent COAs. We do not repackage third-party powders; every kilogram is produced in our facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for bulk hojicha powder?
Standard MOQ is 100 kg for stock medium roast. Custom roast profiles or private label packaging require 500 kg minimum.
Does hojicha powder contain caffeine?
Yes, but at significantly lower levels than matcha or coffee. Our medium roast tests at approximately 0.5%–1.5% caffeine, roughly 10–15 mg per 1 g serving. This makes it suitable for evening menus and caffeine-sensitive consumer segments.
Can you provide samples before a bulk order?
Yes. We provide up to 500 g of sample powder free of charge; the buyer covers freight. Samples ship within 3–5 business days.
What certifications support export to the EU and US?
Our facility operates under HACCP and ISO 22000. We provide FDA registration documentation, heavy metal test reports, and microbial COAs with every shipment. Organic certification (USDA/EU) is available for specific lots.
