Both come from Japan and both are green tea, yet they taste and feel completely different. That’s why DualCha serves both.
Matcha is green tea from shade-grown leaves, stone-ground into a fine powder. You drink the whole leaf, not just an infusion, hence the vivid colour and vegetal, slightly sweet taste with a hint of umami.
Hojicha is Japanese green tea roasted at high temperature. Roasting gives it a brown colour, a caramel-nutty aroma and lowers its caffeine content.
