This was a late night random concoction of Japanese roasted stem tea and the desire to eat an apple pie.
Hoicha Kukicha from Japan, cinnamon chips, and apple pieces.
“To know a thing does not always enable us to prevent it, but at least the things we know we do hold, if not in our hands, at any rate in our minds, where we can dispose of them as we choose, and this gives us the illusion of a sort of power over them.” Swann’s Way
Company description not available.
Really tasty, wheat/grass-forward green tea- very organic in flavor, almost with barnyard, farm-like notes of hay, apples, spices, grass, and similar profiles. Comforting and unique, with a slight nuttiness. I might try steeping it more.
Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Grass, Hay, Honey
I received my Liquid Proust Tea order today. Trying this one first.
Apple – yep
Cinnamon – yep
Hojicha – not really – pretty much obscured by the flavors
This is not quite what I was expecting. It’s apple cinnamon as advertised but it’s REALLY apple with just a bit of cinnamon (for my tastes this cinnamon is odd). I was expecting more of the roasted hojicha to be present with just hints of apple/cinnamon – toast with apple jelly maybe, something like that. This is hot apple juice with a hint of strange cinnamon.
This is coming out harsher than intended. Other than the cinnamon that bothers me (and that’s personal taste), this isn’t bad – just odd and not what I was expecting.
Hmm, too bad about the base not coming through. Hojicha + apple cinnamon is a smart idea, in theory.
No fun :/
I brew mine for 150 seconds, which you might have done as well.
Sorry it disappointed.
I steeped it for 2:30. This was totally fun. :) It’s not about disappointment – it’s about trying new things. Every time I try a new blended/flavored tea there is a possibility that my tastes/vision and those of the blender/creator do not match. That doesn’t make either of us right or wrong, just different. I’m going to try and cold steep this – I’ve never cold steeped a hojicha before so that will be interesting. I might like it better as cold apple juice. Will see.
Hojicha seems to be a type of tea that if you don’t like it you probably won’t find one that you do like. Roasted teas have a very distinct taste.
The roasted Japanese stems use in this tea came from Tokyo that I bought and they blend decently with the apple cinnamon taste, but like other hojicha a cup of this is all you should really drink. I tried to drink an entire pot and my mouth just didn’t want any more after 12 ounces, this tea gets rather dry over multiple drinks.
I kind of want to infuse whipped cream into it but I will not :p
