Tea Review: Autumn Hojicha Roasted Green Tea (NaturaliTea/Yunomi)

Autumn Hojicha Roasted Green Tea/無農薬茶:ほうじ茶
NaturaliTea/Yunomi
Type: Green
Origin: Japan, Shizuoka, Fujieda
Product Description: 
The roasted flavor of this hojicha is deep and reminiscent of dark wood. Alongside the toasty notes, there are green undertones in the flavor that give it even more depth and nuance. 
Temperature: 194° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 1 minute

The dry leaves have an aroma of roasted chestnuts and autumn leaves.

The orange amber infusion has a rich and savory aroma and taste of roasted chestnuts with a long finish.

This hojicha was rich and delicious throughout three infusions.  I believe I reviewed this tea many years ago when it was simply listed as Hojicha.  This was a delight to rediscover. Considering that the first thing that came to mind when smelling the dry leaves was a mound of autumn leaves, I would say the update tea name is accurate.

This tea was purchased by me.
