Tea Review: Hojicha Roasted Tea (Smile Tea)

Hojicha Roasted Tea
Smile Tea
Type: Green
Origin: Japan, Kagoshima Prefecture
Product Description: 
"Smile Tea"Organic Premium Hoji Roasted Tea using well selected tea leaves for hojicha. This hojicha's good aroma makes from twice roasting process by different temperature.
Temperature: 175-190° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 2-4 minutes

The dry leaf aroma has notes of roasted nuts and cocoa nibs.

The reddish-brown infusion is rich and roasty in aroma and taste with notes of roasted nuts and hints of cocoa.

While the flavor was at its fullest in the first infusion, a longer steeping time and higher water temperature made for a very nice second cup.  This was delicious.

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