The roasting burns off much of the caffeine, so hojicha is naturally low in caffeine — gentle enough for the late afternoon or evening. Expect notes of caramel, toasted nuts and wood. It's whisked exactly like matcha, making a comforting, milky cup without the jitters. The Strabella Hojicha Set pairs a bamboo whisk and ceramic bowl with 30g of stone-milled Kyoto hojicha, so the tools and the tea arrive together in one box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTL;DR\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBamboo whisk + ceramic bowl + hojicha powder\u003c\/strong\u003e — a complete roasted-tea kit, ready out of the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e$89\u003c\/strong\u003e (was $99) — the full set, including the tea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally low caffeine\u003c\/strong\u003e — toasty, nutty, gentle.
