12th day of my advent calendar from Sara!
This one smells oh so lemony. The taste is very lemon, maybe some lemon zest, and a note of the houjicha that is stronger at the end of the sip.
The lemon flavor is so strong, that I’m not really enjoying the houjicha much. It’s an enjoyable tea, but I think it could be better. I wonder how it would taste iced.

I still need to try it iced, too. Do you think you prefer houjicha that isn’t blended/flavored? I rarely can find houjicha used in blends or flavored in general (and sort of wish blenders would play around with it a bit more). I have tried a few flavored mugicha and of those, tend to like plain mugicha more.
Blends can be good if they add a little flavor that matches well, like that Maple Houjicha, mmm. But I don’t know if it pairs well with many flavors.
