Hoji-cha Roasted Green Tea from Yamamotoyama
76

brewed 95degree for 3min, surprised how different reviews this tea has!
actually i’m on the side of positives as i love this roasted, ‘salty’ smell,
it remains me a flavor of roasted sea salt or asian soup salted by soybean sauce in its most elegant way.. perfect for windy days in autumn, when people start to burn up the fallen leaves. i don’t know what kind of foods japanese people take with hojicha
but to me it’s appealing when i drink it solely, or salty snacks, or any meals.

but don’t take my review seriously,
i hesitated a while to mention like ‘roasted sea salt’ after ‘roasted popcorn’
they’re all salty, although..

In the middle of last decade, i just fell into the baking world. After using tons of flours trying all the recipes which can be found on the planet earth from the ciabatta to gingerman in our image, after our likeliness, i found that he seemed thirsty for someone and lonely. i gave him a coke, but she was not his type. so i took a dash of milk from his flank and made a cup of tea. And I saw that it was good.
