Tea #33
I was in a mood for green tea, but also I didn’t wanted to fuss about the temperature, so houjicha is perfect for that.
I think that the base is working so well with those spices in, and although I am missing a few spices that are in gingebread (at least here); for instance (star) anise, it is actually pretty good example of gingebread tea. The ginger was definitely prominent, though a bit more than expected. But at least it was warming and sugar in? Absolutely no problem for me!
I liked this more than I thought I would based on the dry leaf smell, which was a little too flat and lacking for me. The deeper roasted hojicha base is very complimentary to this type of profile and the ginger really works. One thing I don’t know that I’ve ever overtly said is just that I think the quality of the ginger that Deb uses is really nice; it’s got so much flavour and a perfect level of heat to it! Also good clarity; not too muddy/earthy. I wish there were more of that molasses-type dark sweetness as that’s pretty crucial to gingerbread IMO, but I think the maple sugar does a solid enough job at approximating it.
