“I’m not a big fan of tea with milk, but this is one I definitely prefer when made up as a tea latte. The roasted, nutty flavour really works well with the milk and leaves a pleasant aftertaste.” Read full tasting note

Description

Hojicha (roasted tea) – is produced by roasting Bancha or Sencha green tea over a high heat, resulting in a reddish-brown tea leaf and a light reddish-brown brew. Often served as iced tea.

Flavour: A toasty, slightly caramel-like flavour.

Feature: The lowest in caffeine and tannin, so this is a great tea for the elderly, children and sick, or as a drink before going to bed.
