The dry leaf aroma is rich with notes of roasted chestnuts and a hint of smoke.
The dark reddish-brown infusion has an aroma and flavor reminiscent of roasted chestnuts and cocoa with a long, rich, roasty finish.
This is a particularly lovely version of karigane houjicha with the rich cocoa-like notes that I most look forward to. I began by steeping the tea for 1 minute and found that the flavor carried forward by adding 1 minute to each subsequent infusion. While the best flavor was in the first two infusions, the third was only slightly less nuanced and quite enjoyable.
This tea was purchased in-person at the main store in Uji. It is sold online through Rakuten.
