I am not sure what to think about this tea. I bought it with my last order based on the theory it was low in caffeine. Tried it tonight for that very reason. It has a strong roasted flavor, not sure if its roasted nuts or something else. I am not at all sure I like it. I think a flavored Hojicha would be more interesting.

I brewed this once in an 18oz teapot with 3 tsp leaf and 175 degree water for 2 min.

I tried the Choice bagged bancha hojicha, and didn’t care for it either. Didn’t taste anything like I expected. I read that it was a light tea, good with meals…but, that wasn’t my experience at all.
