This is only my second time having hojicha, it reminds me a lot of genmaicha but less intense. Roasty toasty!
There’s just really nothing special about hojicha to me. If I wanted this taste, I’d more likely go for genmaicha.
2 Tasting Notes
I admittedly haven’t had any other Hojicha’s, but I rather enjoy this one. Doesn’t taste too burnt – it’s just nutty and toasty tasting. I used 2 level tsp in a 12 oz cup and did 2 steeps at about 1 minute and 2 minutes.
