This roasting process creates a completely different flavor profile - warm, toasty, and comforting instead of grassy and vegetal. The roasting also reduces the caffeine content significantly, making Hojicha perfect for evening enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Stone-Milling Difference:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmber Grove is stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder, similar to matcha.
