This tea brews a darker cup, but is soothing and mellow. There's a kind of smokiness that isn't overwhelming, but feels comforting. Would recommend for an afternoon break.

Love this bancha, I have been drinking it regularly for a few years, nice nighttime tea with minimal caffeine. Delicious toasted flavor, pairs great with dinner or after on it's own. The team at hibiki-an are great, the snacks, tea pots, and emails with included re... (more)

Delicious houjicha, easily my favorite houjicha that I've had. The flavor feels lighter than others I've tasted, and the roasted flavor note comes through very clearly and in balance with the earthy flavor of the tea. Love it!

Great price for great taste for the daily tea drinker. Dry leaves have an initial aroma of slightly roasted nutty/dark chocolate! the roasted aroma is lighter when brewed and accents all the notes pleasantly. Will buy again!

It is a tea that I usually enjoy in the evening, both for its aroma and for the reduced amount of caffeine.

This is my everyday tea. Love the nuttiness and roasted nose... Takes me instantly back to my trips to Japan!

I drink a lot of houjicha: iced in the spring and summer and hot during the rest of the year. The bancha from Hibiki-an is the best I have found. Over the years I have occasionally tried other brands but the quality of this tea at this price is always outstanding.

Confession: The majority of my consumption of this has come well over a year after I first ordered and received it, but it's been just as good as when I first brewed it back at the start of 2019. Same calming aroma, same satisfying taste. In these warmer months I&#... (more)

This tea is comparable to other types of teas from stems like Chinese teas I've tried in the past. Its not comparable to the leaf teas I tried such as the blended sencha/gyokuro and matcha from Hibiki-an. Its a good tea and has a different taste. I'll have to ... (more)
