[EN] Very interesting tea. The smell.. isn't the best, but it tastes pretty good. It's smokey with a strong toasty/nutty flavour. I think I prefer regular green teas but Hojicha is fine too.
The first infusion is gold-amber and subsequent infusions are more of a deep/reddish-amber; The intense aroma and taste mellow out in subsequent infusions, I personally like these infusions better than the first.
This Hojicha is also extremely light, you will find that you get a very large volume of tea in 50g. My 50g pack was about enough to fill a 2C mason jar, making this tea very budget friendly.

[EN] Very tasty. Smells like roasted hay, tastes much better. Lovely roasted notes, faint smokiness, rich and nutty with a slight savoriness that reminds me of roasted seaweed. Highly recommended.

[EN] When I first opened a packet of this tea I was surprised by the pale colour. I've had many different types of roasted green tea and this one is by far the lightest in colour. However... the taste is better than any other Hojicha by a mile. This one is rich and nutty, and the colour of the tea is good too, golden even on the third brew. If you can get organic Hojicha as good as this why would you buy anything else?

[EN] Lovely roasted flavour with notes of honey and a subtle nuttiness, and hay. More than I expected out of this tea, its delicious, and beautifully low in caffiene which allows me to enjoy it further into the night than I usually drink tea.
[EN] A great choice for an afternoon or evening pot - low caffeine level combined with lovely sweet, nutty, maple syrup flavours. Makes a very good iced tea in summer, and again as the caffeine level is low you can slug it all afternoon with impunity.
[EN] A new favorite! Rich roast flavor, smoky.

[EN] Wonderful and strong tasting roasted kuki hojicha (meaning "stems"), floral, fragrant, and delicious. I highly recommend this beautiful tea!
[EN] Let's say... TOO delicate. The flavor is much to faint even when using more tea leaves than directed.
