The Best Summer Hojicha Drinks

1. Butterfly Pea Hojicha Latte by @foodess_diaries

Vibrant blue and beautifully calming, this butterfly pea hojicha latte is a visual dream. We gifted our Dark Roast Powder to foodess diaries for her brew it yourself series and she delivered magic. The colour contrast between butterfly pea and dark roast hojicha is striking and the flavour is as soothing as it looks.

2. Hojicha Affogato by @hojichahouse

We might be biased, but our hojicha affogato is on repeat this summer. Simple vanilla ice cream topped with a shot of warm dark roast hojicha creates the perfect balance of creamy, roasty and refreshing. There is nothing quite like ice cold cream drenched in warm roasted green tea on a hot summer afternoon.

3. Traditional Iced Hojicha by @the.matchacasa

You can never go wrong with a classic. The iced hojicha latte by the matcha casa is a masterclass in simplicity. Just hojicha powder, milk of your choice and plenty of ice. Calm, clean and endlessly sippable, exactly what summer calls for.

4. Iced Hojicha with Cloud Top by @ourcafecorner

From Seattle comes this double layer iced hojicha with a soft cloud cream top. It instantly caught our attention. The drink pairs iced hojicha with a gentle creamy finish that is both refreshing and indulgent. It is surprisingly easy to make at home and tastes like a cafe quality treat.

5. Bonus Recipe Hojicha Cookies by @flavorsofjapan_2025

Not a drink but definitely worth mentioning. These hojicha cookies use both hojicha powder and tea leaves which gives them a deep roasted flavour that hojicha lovers adore. The scent while they bake is incredible. Enjoy them with your hojicha latte or hojicha tea or simply as an afternoon treat.
