⭐Reviews & Traveler Voices
What Reviewers Say
The perfect post-dinner tea. Nutty, warm, zero bitterness. Much more forgiving to brew than sencha or matcha. Low caffeine means you can drink it at night. The roasted aroma fills the room — it's an experience. Great souvenir because it's lightweight and shelf-stable.
