meh…I wanted more banana and coconut, it’s hints of favor in a roasty vegetal brew.

brings out the coconut flavor

It’s an OK cup, but I really haven’t been fond of any hojicha teas.

I love caffeine! I prefer tea to coffee. I prefer my flavors to be in your face, not subtle. I plan to use this blog to keep track of the teas I have tried.

I get my daily dose of caffeine from Starbucks (Grande soy no water chai latte).
