Georgian green loose leaf tea roasted/stone roasted
Sensory profile
aroma: wood, roasted peanut, smoked
flavor: smoky, nougat, hazelnut
Description
Tea is made by roasting green tea leaves on a hot traditional stone called ‘Ketsi’.
The roasting process gives the tea a dark color and intense flavor that is different from traditional green tea. The taste may resemble Japanese Hōjicha. The main difference is a slightly different roasting method and the fact that Japanese roasted tea consists mainly of tea bush stems and Georgian roasted tea consists of high-quality leaves. Georgian roasted tea is often served in special ceramic dishes that keep the tea warm for a longer time. One of the most important parts of the tea ceremony in Georgia.
Burnati tea has an intense flavor. In our opinion, it is unique and unique in taste. It can be a great alternative to coffee. Certainly for the brave and those who like expressive flavors.

I thought this was hojicha, but it’s actually medium-dark green tea leaves as opposed to the brown stems of hojicha. Neat!
The taste is very roasty and toasty with hints of sweetness at the end of the sip. There is a subtle flavour of raw hazelnut. I easily get three steeps from this tea. I haven’t yet tried for more steeps, but perhaps it’s possible.
1st steep 2 minutes 30 seconds
2nd steep 4 minutes
3rd steep 5 minutes 30 seconds
I am happy for you that you didn’t find it smoky as you were afraid of it.
I remember trying it on their stand.
