Unlike traditional green teas that are steamed, hojicha undergoes a roasting process, which imparts a toasty, slightly caramelized flavor with minimal bitterness. This roasting also reduces the caffeine content, making it a popular choice for the evening or for those sensitive to caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifference Between Hojicha and Sencha\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcessing Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hojicha is roasted, whereas sencha is steamed.
