Hoji Ben is the hub for hojicha in San Francisco: a ranked, reviewed guide to every hojicha latte, straight hojicha, and hojicha soft serve in the city. One person, every spot, honestly graded.
// the mission
On a mission to try every hojicha in San Francisco and rank them all. Nobody had ranked hojicha in San Francisco in one place, so I did. Every spot gets the same treatment: order it, taste it, give it a letter grade, post the video. No sponsorships, no pay-to-rank.
// why hojicha
Roasted Japanese green tea: toasty, nutty, low caffeine. Underrated, and nobody was tracking it here. New to it? Start with what hojicha is.
// how scoring works
Roast, balance, sweetness, consistency. The index updates as I log new spots. 9 so far.
