Ummmm, yum? This is some seriously tasty tea, and everything I expected it to be, really. I’m just sad that I only have one more serving left, though hoping for a resteep with tonight’s brew.
Warm and toasty from the genmai cha, but also warm from the caramel as well. Almost like burnt sugar. This is probably my favourite genmai cha ever!
Would I recommend this to a friend? Heck YES!
A super big thanks to Cavocorax for sending a few teaspoons my way.

The Japon love continues! I am glad you finally got a chance to try it :)
Yes, I was craving it so much after seeing so many of my friends taste it. It is sooo yummy! Everything is in perfect balance. I’m toying with blending some of my caramel houjicha and genmai houjicha together for a toasted caramel treat.
That could be quite tasty. I will have to keep an eye on your tasting notes to see how that turns out.
Caramel Houjicha?
Bird Pick Tea & Herb Caramel Houjicha – interesting. I am so glad they don’t ship to Canada… lots of interesting stuff on that site. No temptation when you can’t order. Interesting though.
Yes, it’s the Bird Pick Tea and Herb Caramel Houjicha. I got it in bags last year, but loose this year. I like it, though it takes time to adjust to the houjicha since it has such a distinct flavour profile. I have enough that I can send some via trade, but I’ve got a few other packages I need to get out first.
Dexter….I’d be happy to order some and send it to you giggling
