Tea Review: Alpine Hojicha (Felicity Loft)

Alpine Hojicha
Felicity Loft
Type: Flavored Green
Origin: Japan
Product Description:
Alpine Hojicha is a roasted green tea from the Mt Fuji region of Japan blended with the gentle earthy florals of heather, yarrow, and nettle. This tea is a smooth, nutty, roasted toasted. This tea goes excellent with food, especially salty rich foods like ramen!
Temperature: 176° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 2 minutes

The dry leaf blend includes roasted green tea, heather, yarrow, and nettle.

The reddish-brown infusion has a roasty and spicy aroma and taste with a long roasty and herbaceous finish.  

The floral elements of this blend added a spiciness that reminded me just a little of Southwest American cooking.  This works surprisingly well with roasted green tea and I quite enjoyed the results.

This tea was purchased by me at NW Tea Festival 2024.
