Backlog:
Oh yay! I’m getting closer and closer to being caught up. I mean … I’m almost like … just one month behind now.
This was in January’s amoda box. I was a wee bit disappointed by January’s box, only because December was AWESOME … (February’s is pretty awesome too, for that matter), but in January’s box … they repeated a tea. Not this tea, this is one I hadn’t tried before so I was happy about that … but they did repeat a tea and I don’t want to buy ‘repeat’ samplers. You know? I’m a taster. I’m a sampler. And when I buy a sampler from a company, I want it to be teas that I haven’t tried before.
Anyway, enough of that and on to this tea.
I am very glad that this tea was in January’s box. A delicious Genmai! I love that the roasty-toasty-ness of the toasted rice is accentuated with the roasted Hojicha tea. It makes for a really delicious, deep caramel-y yumm-o sort of taste.
Warm, cozy, and tasty!
Genmaichas and hojichas are two of my favorite types of teas! I’m definitely putting this on my wishlist to follow up on later.
