The mouth feel of this tea is incredible. Firstly, it is silky. Think the finest silk comforter you have ever touched. Second, the way it blankets the tongue. It is very filling.

Smoked and slightly charred sweet potato. Or maybe acorn squash would be closer to what I am tasting. While it has the main attributes of a hojicha, roasty and toasty, it also has a bit of leather, a tad of mahogany, and a bit of roasted nuts.

The dry aroma is a wonderful and fascinating mix of green and roasty notes.
