Coconut Banana Cream Pie Hojicha from 52teas
91

I really liked this tea today. I think that the only thing that has me turned off to this blend is that hojicha, for whatever reason, kind of bothers my throat. I can’t tell if this is a me thing or what; but I feel kinda gunky after drinking this. I tried a plain hojicha last week and had the same problem; so it isn’t anything wrong with 52 tea’s blend.
This tea is super awesome any time of day which what I enjoy about it as my collection has been shrinking. I never feel like I can’t sleep after this so that is a plus in my book. The flavor is heavily banana with notes of pie crust and light coconut. I think that I will try this with the almond milk/coconut milk blend next time I make it.

I seem to remember I liked this one too. I wish Frank would do something else with hojicha (but am sorry it bothers you).

I think I’ll keep trying hojicha; just to see if it is some kind of allergy or something. I would like to see more people use it because it is an interesting tea.

I do like certain flavored teas, but I don’t think I’d ever purchase a flavored Hojicha. I love the flavor on its own.

The other hojicha I tried was also flavored; badly. :( I really would like to try some plain, but I am waiting to order it from somewhere. I’m not sure what shop I’d like to get it from.
