What's the difference between a good and bad hojicha (in your opinion)?
I just started getting into hojicha powder. I've only tried one brand so far, which I think tastes amazing. It reminds me of coffee, except without the acidic-burning feeling (I can't drink coffee) so I love it. It's roasty and fresh and "burnt" in a good way.
I'm curious what less-good hojicha taste like? Are they just less flavorful? Or do they just have different flavors, and good/bad is based on personal preferences?
I want to finish the hojicha powder I have before buying more brands (but I also don't necessarily want to buy hojicha that's worse just to fulfill my curiosity) haha.
