Day 24 of Sara’s Old Tea came with a big sachet of Hoji Matcha Chai!
No longer available from Tea Chai Te, this can still probably be purchased if you make a phone order, as they still have everything needed to make it.
I brewed it and added a bit of almond milk, just enough to cool it down to my preferred temperature.
The chai flavors blend together so well, that I had to take several sips to try to tease out what’s in there. I taste clove, ginger, and licorice, with a bit of woody flavor from the houjicha near the end of the sip. It tastes like… sitting and talking with Sara with a pot of tea at Tea Chai Te in Portland, the one on NW 23rd Avenue, a block from Salt & Straw ice cream.
I finished my glass before finishing the review.
Flavors: Clove, Ginger, Licorice, Wood

I read your last sentence first. That’s a very good quality indicator right there!
What turned into, “Oh ya, I need to send Todd my old package of Hoji Matcha Chai” then became, “I need to throw away this gutted DAVIDsTEA advent packaging in the big dumpster, it’s bulky… oh heeeeeeeeeey…”
gmathis haha yeah, it was that good :)
Sara: Oh LOL, so that’s how it happened…
