Vendor Notes
This Hojicha offers a remarkably comforting and elegant profile, moving beyond typical grassy notes. Expect a smooth, nutty character reminiscent of roasted buckwheat and toasted oats, enhanced by a creamy, almost latte-like texture. Subtle savory sweetness emerges, echoing maple syrup-kissed porridge in a gentle, refined finish.

It was quite nice. It had a good mouthfeel, oily and brothy. some fruity-ness which I didn’t get when I used tap water. I used 45 hardness water with only mg and na and it completely transformed the tea.
