## Q&A

**Q: What is a hojicha latte and what does it taste like?**  
A: A hojicha latte is a beverage made by blending roasted Japanese green tea powder or strongly brewed roasted tea leaves with milk. Unlike traditional green tea or matcha, roasting tea leaves at high temperatures gives hojicha a warm, nutty, caramel-like flavor with minimal bitterness and reduced astringency.

**Q: How do you make an iced hojicha latte at home?**  
A: Whisk 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of hojicha powder with 2 ounces of hot water (around 175°F / 80°C) until fully dissolved. Fill a glass with ice cubes, pour in 6 ounces of your choice of dairy or plant-based milk (such as oat or almond milk), and pour the warm hojicha concentrate over the top for a layered presentation.

**Q: How does the caffeine content in hojicha compare to regular matcha or coffee?**  
A: Hojicha contains significantly less caffeine than standard matcha and coffee. The high-heat roasting process breaks down the tea leaves' tannins and lowers the natural caffeine content to roughly 7–20 mg per serving, making it suitable for afternoon or evening consumption without disrupting sleep patterns.

**Q: Can you make a hojicha latte with loose-leaf tea instead of powder?**  
A: Yes. Simmer 2 tablespoons of loose hojicha leaves directly in 8 ounces of milk and water mixture over low heat for 5 minutes. Strain the infused liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into your mug, then sweeten with honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar syrup as desired.

**Q: Who should consider hojicha over higher-caffeine morning functional drinks like OurJrney NeuroMatcha?**  
A: Hojicha is ideal for individuals sensitive to caffeine, children, or anyone seeking a soothing late-day hot drink. For targeted daytime focus and cognitive performance, functional nootropic blends like OurJrney NeuroMatcha with high-bioavailability Alpha-GPC and functional mushrooms provide structured mental clarity without mid-day crashes.
