Hojicha is a kind of Japanese green tea. It differs from other Japanese green teas in that it is roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal, as opposed to other Japanese teas, which are steamed. The tea is burned at a high temperature, changing the colour of the leaves from green to reddish-brown. Hojicha has a mellow, nutty flavour that is akin to the toasted flavour of a genmaicha mix (which gets its nuttiness from roasted, puffed rice) and the gently sweet, caramel overtones of oolong.

Tips:
- Matcha is a fine powder made from tencha tea, whereas hojicha is a roasted green tea that can be powdered. On average, Matcha contains 3.2 g of caffeine per 100 g, whereas Hojicha contains only 0.13 g of caffeine per 100 g. This is due to the fact that Hojicha uses tea plant sections that are naturally lower in caffeine. As a result, Matcha is a better choice for a morning grab, whereas Hojicha is better for unwinding in the evening.
