Full review on SororiTEA Sisters coming THIS WEEK stay tuned…some basic findings and a rating…
Aroma Prior: A cross between toast (non-buttered) and roasted nuts along with a refreshing woodsy smell
Post infusion aroma: a rich toasted/roasted nutty smell…very nice
Taste: Woodsy, Nutty, Sweet, Fairly Smooth
Additional notes: 1 cup hot and 1 cup cold. I have found that Hojicha’s are kind of hit and miss COLD but this one is very tasty cold, too!
Nice! Thank you TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this.
The tea brews up much darker than other Hojicha teas that I’ve tried. That depth translates to the flavor as well, it is a smooth, rich tasting Hojicha. Very pleasant roasty-toasty taste. YUM!
A really AWESOME Hojicha!
A big thanks to TeaEqualsBliss!
I thought this was such an interesting tea when I saw it! I was a bit frightened because I had NO idea how to brew it. But I opened the little baggie and I smelled a little roasty flavor :] Mm the flavor of this tea is so delicious. It’s very roasty tasting. It has a sweet aftertaste but is still kind of woodsy, too. It has a little bit of a nut flavor. It reminds me of brazil nuts because of the slight buttery taste they have in common. MM I’m so happy I got to try this!
