Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can hojicha be enjoyed hot and cold? Yes, similar to matcha, hojicha can be enjoyed in all kinds of ways. Whether it be hot, cold, in a latte, or used as an ingredient in food, hojicha proves to be a versatile product.
2. What makes hojicha a traditional tea? Hojicha was first created in Kyoto, Japan in the 1920s as tea merchants discovered that roasting leftover bancha (type of green tea) would create a completely new flavor profile and reduce waste. This innovation made hojicha an example of the resourcefulness and adaptability within Japanese tea culture. In present day, hojicha is one of the more popular teas as it provides unique health benefits and flavor.
3. How should I store this product? We recommend that you store your genmaicha away from light and sealed firmly in a cool environment. Placing it in the refrigerator is best to maximize freshness.
4. What is your policy on "best by" dates? While it heavily depends, there will always be at least 3 months before the best by date. Upon opening, we do recommend that you consume all the contents within 1-2 months for the best quality.
5. The serving sizes are too small, what should I do? Japanese palettes often 1 gram per serving so this is what we used as our guideline. However, a benefit of powdered tea is that this can be altered to the level of your choosing. If you prefer a stronger taste, you can put 2-grams of the powder in your cup to experiment and see what is to your liking.
6. Is hojicha gluten free? Yes, hojicha is a gluten free product.
7. Why does YEDOENSIS focus on powdered teas? Studies have shown that funmatsucha (Japanese powdered tea) extracts more nutrients from the leaves than standard brewing methods. Specifically, the process of applying hot water to tea leaves is said to only extract 30% of the contents in the leaves. In comparison, funmatsucha allows you to consume all the natural nutrients in the tea leaves as they are crushed in a fine powder without any leftover. This demonstrates mottainai, or the Japanese principle of "do not waste."
