Not all Hojichas are created equal. Hojicha isn’t a commodity — there are real differences between brands. I gave Mighty Leaf’s Organic Hojicha a 93. I might have been more positively disposed toward Adagio’s Hojicha if I had never tried Mighty Leaf. As it is, I found Adagio’s comparatively dull, listless, almost stale tasting. I don’t mean to rip on Adagio — I love them, most of the time. Just not at Hojicha time.

Just curious—-what’s the proper pronunciation for this variety? Every time I see the spelling, my brain just automatically says “HA-cha-cha.” I’m sure that’s not right!
I’m thinking Hoe-Gee-cha… am I rigtht?
I don’t speak Japanese, but I would go with Cofftea’s take on it: Hoe-GEE-cha
