This is without a doubt my favorite tea from mighty leaf and one of my favorite hojicha's that I've tried--definitely my favorite that's available bagged.
The aroma is rich and roasty and has some nuances. There's a bit more bitterness than some hojicha's, which I like, but there is little astringency or sourness; overall this is a smooth tea with just a bit of a bite.
I also find this tea to be good for multiple infusions--quite remarkable for this style of tea. It's still a little on the expensive side though, but it's reasonable given that you can easily brew several flavorful cups (either at once or in succession) from the same teabag.
