This is a lovely tea. Reminiscent of a dark roast hojicha. The dry leaf is quite big for the most part but there are smaller leaves in there. They are also cut like a very big version of CTC. Dark and olive brown leaves with a mix of light brown twigs. The wet leaf is just a darker version of the same. Notes of campfire with roasted marshmallows. Nice roasty notes. Flavor is highly like hojicha with the roasty and toasty notes but a bit heavier on the roasty notes. If you like hojicha be sure to give this one a try.
