This tea has a natural sweetness to it. It tastes very nutty. It has a dark brown color and reminds me of a good Hojicha. I’m sitting here watching the football game sipping this tea while everyone else is drinking beer and thinking I’m nuts. This is a tea I could drink all day, its that good and very inexpensive.

I know this tea is in a bag but it tastes nutty and toasty. Smells nutty too.

I really love this tea. Its dark brown and nutty, maybe chestnuts. Its so easy to drink with a sweet taste. I found this tea at Biglots, which means very inexpensive. The taste really grows on you. Now I need to try some other brands and compare, maybe Maeda-en.
