You know we like to keep you on your toes, and this National Biscuit Day we’ve got something that really takes the biscuit!
Meet a brand NEW tea powder using a never-before-seen tea type at Bird & Blend…Cookie Hojicha Tea Powder! We’re so excited to be welcoming Hojicha to our range of teas for a limited time only. Hojicha provides a new & exciting way to enjoy tea for those reducing or avoiding caffeine. Like matcha, Hojicha is a type of Japanese green tea, but then it undergoes a magical process that gives it a different flavour & caffeine level…
Roasting the tea leaves over charcoal turns the tea leaves a reddish-brown colour & reduces caffeine content, making it a fantastic alternative to matcha that can be enjoyed as a hot tea, over iced or as a latte. Delicious! The roasting process also gives it a distinct toasty, nutty flavour with minimal bitterness. And of course, we’ve done what we do best & given it an extra tasty twist, blending with natural ingredients to create a gently spiced & cakey cookie flavour that’s simply irresistible.
We hope you love this one & can’t wait to hear what you think. Pop the kettle on!
How to make a Cookie Hojicha Tea Powder
Like when making a mug of magical matcha, you’ll need either a Bamboo Matcha Whisk or our Handheld Milk & Matcha Frother, along with your Perfect Matcha Spoon.
- Add one level Perfect Matcha Spoon (½ tsp) of tea powder into a bowl & add a splash of 80° water.
- Whisk using a Traditional Bamboo Matcha Whisk or milk frother until all the powder is dissolved.
- Pour into your favourite cosy mug.
From here, you can make…
- Hot Tea: Top up with hot water & add a splash of milk if desired.
- Hot Tea Latte: Gently warm 150ml of milk, froth, then add to your mug with a pump of vanilla or cinnamon syrup to taste if you’d like.
- Iced Tea Latte: Pour your matcha shot over ice & top up with cold milk.
Method 2: Magic Whisk Cookie Hojicha Tea Powder Latte
Here's how to make a velvety tea powder latte using our Matcha Latte Magic Whisk!
- Add 250ml of your chosen milk to you Matcha Latte Magic Whisk & press the power button.
- Sprinkle 1 Perfect Matcha Spoon of Cookie Hojicha Tea Powder over your milk as it spins in your Magic Whisk. By gently sprinkling the tea powder over the milk as it spins you can achieve the best results & avoid any clumping.
- After you have sprinkled in your tea powder you can then add 1 teaspoon of your vanilla syrup (optional).
- Place the lid on top of your machine & watch the magic happen.
- Pour into your favourite mug & enjoy!
