Introducing Hojicha: A Unique Alternative

What is Hojicha? While it shares similarities with Matcha, Hojicha is roasted to achieve a smooth, rich flavor. This makes it a potential coffee substitute, offering a delightful alternative packed with antioxidants. Additionally, it contains lower caffeine levels, deriving from the premium leaves sourced in Shizuoka, Japan.

The key lies in the roasting process; leaves are heated to about 200°C until they attain a deep brown color. Our expert Roasting Master ensures a consistent color and flavor by expertly adjusting the roasting parameters according to seasonal variations like temperature and humidity.

A Healthier Choice

Hojicha stands out for its considerably reduced caffeine content. The roasting process effectively breaks down caffeine molecules, rendering it an ideal option for those seeking a gentler beverage in the evening. This roasting also endows the tea with a unique smoky flavor, while preserving its beneficial antioxidants, ensuring a soothing and distinctive drinking experience.

We firmly believe that stone and micro-ground tea powders surpass loose leaf options. These selections are not limited to desserts; they invite exploration and enjoyment, providing an exciting twist to the ordinary.

Brewing Hojicha Made Simple

Preparing Hojicha can be effortlessly achieved with just a teaspoon of powder. Simply add hot water (at a temperature of 80-90°C), and whisk until well combined!

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does Hojicha contain caffeine? Hojicha is celebrated for its low caffeine content, averaging about 7.7 mg per cup, making it a perfect choice for those aiming to reduce caffeine intake without sacrificing flavor. In comparison, Matcha offers significantly higher caffeine levels (approximately 35-70 mg), and coffee averages around 95 mg.

• Why won’t my powders dissolve completely? It’s not you! Fine-ground powders such as Matcha and Hojicha don’t dissolve fully but become suspended in water when whisked. This is normal, as the powdered tea will naturally settle at the bottom of the container if left undisturbed.

• Is Midori Spring Hojicha tested for toxins? Yes, we conduct extensive testing throughout the year. All our Matcha and Hojicha has been found to have undetectable levels of Cesium-134 & 137 and boasts heavy metal results below 0.2 PPM.
