Home for the evening but not down for the count yet as my FB says I still need to walk another 2,000 steps. ha ha.
Got this in my new Yunomi order. I got mostly samples and I have been really curious about this one for a while now. Baked apple and roasted houijcha sounds like a really good combination to me. I steeped this according to the package directions, 1 minute at around 195f. I found the tea to be a little thin in taste and very gingery. I like ginger but wasn’t getting apple until the cup cooled down a little. I did get the apple as an aftertaste, but it is kind of on the light side and a bit artificial at that. Hmm. Not too impressed with this at the moment but I will try steeping the rest of the sample for a longer time period and see if that improves my experience of it. For now, I am not too upset that this is just a sample size.

Lupicia has a pretty good honey & pear hoijcha I can send you to try.
I was hoping that this tea would be good, it does sound like a good mixture.
Man, more tea blends need to use Houjicha, I do not see it nearly enough.
I have yet to find a flavored hoji that I really like. LP- sure I will take you up on your offer ;)
