hojicha

(14 reviews)
Green tea from Japan that is rendered brown by roasting Bancha (a summer crop tea, harvested after Sencha) tea leaves. An Adagio customer favorite, with a toasty nutty flavor and slightly mesquite note. Earthy and warm quality, soothing, clean finish. Steep at 180°F for 2 minutes

To me, it tastes kind of like Udon broth with a hint of chocolate. Not awful, but strange for a tea.

I like the toastedness of this tea, it has a good nutty flavor in contrast to the vegetal taste that many green teas have.

This is a very earthy tea. Not my personal favorite, but green tea lovers would probably enjoy it.

Very nice earthy, roasted flavor. The vegetal undertones from the bancha leaves still come through giving this roasted green a nice level of complexity.

I really, really liked this. I typically want flavored green tea but this was nutty and warming and delicious.

The toasted flavor of this tea comes through really strongly, which I didn't love personally, but if you like roasted teas you'll enjoy this!

This is a very unique green tea and I wasn't expecting the flavor I got. It's a lot earthier than most greens, but makes for a nice change from the more standard flavors.
