Fascinating history, I adore the beautiful roasted flavor of hojicha. It's my favorite because it's so calming and cozy and I could really have it every day. I really need to try Hojicha Co, love how they specify in this lovely tea.

I love hojicha, especially when it's cold out, because it's so cozy and comforting. I was so glad to discover Hojicha Co last year!
