Ground Kocha (Black Tea Powder) 100g

Description

Ground Kocha Powder

Kocha Powder is black tea that’s stone-ground in the same kind of traditional Japanese stone mills used to make Matcha. It has a full-bodied, malty aroma with sweet, chocolate undertones. Kocha powder can be used in the same way you might use a culinary matcha and works especially well in lattes, shakes and sweets.

Our Kocha powder has been sourced especially for us and is made entirely from black tea leaves of the Assamica cultivar, which are stone ground using traditional Japanese milling methods. 

When the leaves are ground into powder and consumed whole we get a far greater amount of caffeine than when steeping the leaves, along with the amino acid L-theanine – which is thought to calm the body and slow the absorption of the caffeine.

Preparation

A great way to use kocha powder is in a black tea latte. Warm a cup of your preferred milk in a pot and add a tablespoon of kocha powder along with a teaspoon of your favourite sweetener. Brown sugar or evaporated coconut sugar both compliment the black tea really well. Use a frother or stick-blender to aerate and thicken your beverage.
