Houjicha Dark

A darker roast on this green tea emphases the more burnt sugar and caramelised fruity notes. Smelling the dry leave gives you all these notes on your nose, and the promise is fulfilled in the dark red brew. Flavours of caramel, roasted fruits and a warming body sensation are granted. This reminds me of a eating roasted sweet treats round a fire place on cold evening.
