شاي هوجيتشا ذو الأوراق السائبة

I've been drinking this every evening since it arrived, and the roasted flavor is so mellow there's barely any bitterness even when I forget and let it steep too long. It's become my go-to for winding down, and I love that I can serve it hot now and iced once summer hits.

The toasty, caramel-like aroma fills the kitchen the second the hot water hits the leaves, and it’s exactly the cozy comfort I was hoping for. I’ve been brewing it cold in the afternoon too, and it’s surprisingly refreshing without any bitterness.

I grabbed a bag to try hot on a chilly evening and the roasted aroma alone sold me before the first sip. It steeps into a smooth, toasty cup with none of the grassiness you get from steamed greens, which is exactly what I wanted.
