Houjicha flavored with juicy Japanese pear and honey offers a refreshing fruity taste.

Green tea roasted and blended with Japanese pear. This blend boasts a refreshing, fruity flavour, with the natural sweetness of honey to compliment the toasted taste of its tea base.

This toasted cup of hojicha is fantastic. The smell is stronger than the taste but that is fine because the pear is the undertone in this tea. The main taste is the toasted green tea with a sweetness of honey. The touch of pear makes it all the better. If you know hojicha taste like and you’re prepared for this type of tea when you brew it, it is a wonderful drink to sip on.
I think pear was an excellent choice of fruit to accompany this tea with.

Though I may not have been having the best few days, my morning was certainly brightened by the arrival of my shared Lupicia order with a group of steepsterites. It was a giant box filled with awesomeness and the most exciting part? My new book of tea! Look at it!!! It’s beautiful: http://instagram.com/p/wuiF7ZvJdG/?modal=true. 100 different Lupicia teas to try :)

I reached in and grabbed a tea at random and this just happened to be the first one I picked up. I had never seen this one before but it sounded amazing and smelled of sweet juicy pear. As I brewed it up, I realized why I never saw this before – it was a flavoured green which I tend not to look at as I am not a lover of green teas. This one is actually quite nice though. Personally I think hojicha is a weird choice for a tea that has such light and fruity flavors and it comes through a bit fractured in the cup. Some sips have strong, roasted grass notes while others are ripe pear drizzled in honey. Its like two different teas were dumped into one cup and made to coexist, which they are achieving, though not particularly well. Perhaps a less aggressive base would have helped the flavors shine a bit more instead of fighting for my attention.

With that said, I find that as the tea cools, the hojicha becomes more muted which makes it slightly more enjoyable. Perhaps tats why this is recommended as an iced tea? Anyways, it is one I would drink again but as long as its on a hojicha base, it is not something I would want in any sort of quantity.
