Hatsune Hojicha is distinguished by a perfectly balanced fusion of flavors:

• On the nose: An intense burst of cinnamon that blends with the roasted accents of the tea.

• The finish: Lingering notes of dried fruit, such as hazelnut, lend a velvety depth to every sip.
• Liqueur: A luminous color ranging from orange to amber.
• Texture: Full-bodied, yet without any bitterness.

Here are the key points most frequently mentioned in our customer reviews (Certishopping reviews, Google reviews, and tasting notes):

• Delicious notes of hazelnut and toast: This is the signature of this tea. Customers often compare its aroma to caramel or toasted grains. "A warm, woody scent reminiscent of evenings by the fire," notes one enthusiast.
