Ready to roast
Green tea with roasted rice is a popular drink in Japan, but it’s unusual to see a blend with Hojicha, the roasted green tea. We’ll admit we were a little worried: roasted tea and roasted rice…had we gone too far? Is there such a thing as too much roasting? Thankfully our fears were unfounded: this tasty blend is just roasty enough. It’s sweet, nutty and perfectly balanced.
