What does hojicha taste like In literal Japanese spellings of Hojicha ほうじ茶, there is "う" which is the "u" sound in English but the combination of "ほ" and "う" sound is only "Hō". The macron on "Hō" simply indicates a long vowel sound, but it loses its purpose and becomes neutralized when translated into English. Therefore, the whole word is spelled as Hojicha in English. One cup of Hojicha contains only about 7.7 mg of caffeine whole a cup of coffee typically contains about 95 mg of caffeine. It is a nice little boost without causing any negative side effects.
