Tastes like old hojicha
I love hojicha, and this DOES taste like hojicha. The maca and lucuma root powders diluting this blend do it no favours however, as it just tastes like a dusty, old hojicha that's lost half of its flavour. Totally drinkable, but if you've had hojicha elsewhere before and enjoyed it, you might be a little disappointed.
I can see why maca was used to make it more cookie-themed, as I remember it tasting like a honeycomb-cookie taste alone? But here, it just weakens the taste overall!

Hi Cynthie, thank you so much for leaving us a review! This was a limited-edition hojicha for National Biscuit Day, so the additional ingredients are indeed present to give the blend a cookie taste - and they can mean that the powder benefits from a bit of extra whisking! (We also find that it works super well as a matcha latte, perhaps with a pump of cinnamon or honey if desired!) However, please feel free to let us know how you are getting on with it at info@birdandblendtea.com - we will always want to ensure you love your cuppa as much as possible! :) Anna @ B&B
