"This is the nicest ho-ji cha I have had! Not quite as roasted, a little spicy and a lot of herb. Very relaxing and rewarding." Iron Oxide

"It took a few cups, but this tea has really grown on me. The dry leaves look like mulch and after brewing, I find the patina to be extra sticky on my cups. However, everyone I've shared this with adores the intense toasted flavor and smell. Even though it looks like "stick stew", I'm keeping it in my permanent collection because a roasty toasty cup of this tea is quite fortifying."
