FAQ
What is hojicha?
Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea with a warm, nutty flavour and very low bitterness. The roasting process gives it a smooth, comforting taste.
Is hojicha caffeinated?
Yes, but very low. Hojicha contains significantly less caffeine than matcha or green tea, making it ideal for evenings or caffeine-sensitive lifestyles.
Where to buy hojicha in Canada?
Rain Dust offers premium and organic Japanese hojicha available for delivery across Canada. It is selected for its smooth and dark roast profile and clean finish.
What does hojicha taste like?
Hojicha tastes warm, roasted, and slightly caramel-like with notes of toasted nuts and wood. It is smooth or chocolaty and naturally calming.
Can you make hojicha lattes?
Yes. Hojicha lattes are creamy and comforting with a roasted caramel-like flavour when mixed with milk.
Matcha vs Hojicha: what is the difference?
Matcha and hojicha are both Japanese teas but very different in taste, caffeine, and purpose.
Matcha is bright green, higher in caffeine, and has a rich umami flavour. It is best for focus, energy, and morning rituals.
Hojicha is roasted, low in caffeine, and has a warm nutty flavour. It is best for relaxation, evenings, and calming moments.
In simple terms: matcha gives energy and focus, hojicha gives calm and relaxation.
