Roasting the bancha leaves produces a tea that combines the best of hojicha and bancha together in one brew. The light grassy flavors are enhanced by the light smokiness, and the astringency is cut to a minimum. The sample I had of this was used up quickly as I tried brewing it both hot and cold the same day, and both were equally satisfying. I hope to order more of this soon, as I have found all of Obubu's teas to be exceptionally delicious.

I've been wanting to try Kyobancha for some time, as well as to order something from Obubu tea...yet more reasons pushing me to do so...
