Toasted Roasted Weenie Hojicha

One whisk of this stone-ground hojicha powder and you’re wrapped in the exact same vibe your doxie gives off when he’s burrowed chin-deep in laundry fresh from the dryer: roasted rice, toasted cereal, and that deep, cozy umami that feels like a little sausage-shaped furnace purring against your side. The leaves and stems are slowly roasted until they glow chestnut brown—just like your doxie’s eyes when he’s pretending to be asleep but is actually monitoring the treat jar. Zero bitterness, all comfort, with a naturally low caffeine level so you can sip it all evening without anyone (human or hound) ricocheting off the walls at midnight.

Warm toasted rice, fresh-baked bread crust, gentle umami hug, lingering nutty sweetness 

Tastes like the moment your dachshund finally stops zoomie-ing, digs a crater in the blankets, sighs like he’s had a 40-hour work week, and passes out snoring on your chest. Pure toasted bliss.

Whisk it thick when you’re ready to admit the couch has won. Latte it with milk when your toasty little dictator demands you stay put “just five more minutes” (spoiler: it’s never five). Iced? Yes, even the chilliest hojicha still feels like a sun-warmed doxie belly.

Warning: May cause immediate blanket burrowing, involuntary “Who’s my little toasted marshmallow?!” baby talk, and the total surrender of all evening plans. Because some things in life are meant to be low-caffeine, high-snuggle, and roasted to absolute perfection—just like your dachshund after 6 p.m.
