Sipdown! (1 | 490)
First sipdown of December! Those rascally advents have been keeping me busy… But I would like to get to 500 by the end of the year, so I need to sneak in some more!
This was the lone survivor from the 3 Leaf hojicha sampler I bought a while back. Whizzed it up tonight with some cold oat milk and a glug of maple syrup, and it’s scrumptious. Roasty, nutty, hint of grassiness on the back of the palate. Little bit of smokiness as well. So rich and creamy with the oat milk. The texture is good but not perfect, there is a slight grittiness to it, but not enough to be very distracting for me. I used one teaspoon of powder for 16 ounces of cold oat milk, and it’s lovely.
I don’t think I’ll be ordering this, just because I don’t tend to drink powdered teas often lately. Poor matcha, languishing in a drawer… Plus I have a pouch of the banana version of this, which is plenty for now. :)
Flavors: Autumn Leaf Pile, Bitter, Caramelized Sugar, Dry Grass, Grass, Nuts, Roasted, Smoke, Wood
Good luck on getting to 500 sipdowns! That is quite an accomplishment. I’m trying to squeak 4 more sipdowns in by the end of the year…
We can do it! \o/
