Yamamotoyama Hoji-Cha Tea Bag (Roasted Green Tea)

Hoji-cha has been one of my basic go-to teas for years, so I had reservations about purchasing a bagged tea. I can usually taste the paper from the bags, but not this one. Since bagged teas are frequently made from the junk at the bottom of the bins and bags don't permit enough room for the teas to steep correctly, I didn't expect much from this tea. But this tea has changed my mind about bagged teas. I steeped this tea for 3 minutes in 6 oz of filtered water heated to 175F. It produced an excellent cup of tea with a mellow roasted taste (consumed without sugar or other additives). I will certainly purchase this tea again. I have served Hoji-cha both hot and iced during dinners and the consumers enjoyed it and always asked for the "recipe."

This tastes like "real" tea. I alternate every morning drinking Hoji-cha and Genmai-Cha. My friends have oohed and ahhed over these delicious teas also.
Thanks.

A wonderfully rich, smooth tea that is full bodied and satisfying, aromatic and soothing any time of day.

Japanese roasted green tea takes it to next sensorial level. The aroma alone is so wonderful. The tea is delicious. Here's a tea company that takes roasting seriously and I highly recommend this product. Thanks Enjoying Tea for carrying it!

great taste, nice cup of tea lay back and relax

It was wonderful..recomended by my daughter-in-law after she brought some home after a recent trip to Japan. I enjoyed it so much I went on line and ordered 8 oz. loose tea... also the service is excellant.

this tea is a nice replace for my Coffee drinking. Meaning a lite taste of the ROASTED green tea reminds me of the taste of coffee. I like my tea strong, leaving the tea bag in.
