About the Kyoto Hojicha Iced Latte
The drink starts with hojicha roasted for a fragrant, deep flavor, then balances that character with a gentle milk base. The milk jelly adds a soft, springy texture and mild sweetness, giving the latte a fuller finish without making it heavy. Nakau recommends it alongside a meal or as a refreshing drink after eating.
