Onyx Hojicha-pulver

The reddish-brown color when I whisk it into hot water is oddly satisfying, and the warm toasted flavor is milder than I expected—no bitterness at all. Made a latte with it this morning and it's already replacing my afternoon coffee.

The earthy, roasted flavor is exactly what I wanted, and it whisks up smooth with no clumps in hot water. The reddish-brown color makes it look as good as it tastes, and you can tell the autumn-harvested leaves give it that deeper warmth.

I've been making this as a latte every morning and the reddish-brown color alone makes it feel special. Autumn-harvested leaves give it a warmth that's less bitter than the green tea powders I've tried. Whisking a spoonful into hot milk takes about a minute.
