(verified owner) Submitted on:I am very picky about tea. I have been drinking Hojicha almost exclusively for years. I have tried many different brands. Senbird is by far the most flavorful and fragrant of all of them. It’s a bit more expensive, but worth the price, in my opinion.

(verified owner) Submitted on:I love this product so much! I’ve been wanting to make hojicha lattes at home and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The taste and quality of the tea is amazing and I no longer have to go to specialty tea cafes to satisfy my cravings. I love that it comes in a reusable tin because I will definitely continue to repurchase from this brand!

(verified owner) Submitted on:I love this tea… but its hard to find. I will buy this again, when i run low. I’ve had very good Hojicha tea from a co-op in VT. Was in the dry bulk section but they switched suppliers and it was not as good. Recently they stopped selling Hojicha altogether… Idk but I’m glad i found this one and the company is very green and that’s important

(verified owner) Submitted on:Hojicha is one of my favorite teas to drink. Senbird is definitely top quality tea. From the moment I held the tin in my hands, it feels like a very luxurious experience. Not only is it functional, as the tight seal locks and protects your loose tea, but it looks nice in the cupboard or presented for a tea ceremony. The flavor of the hojicha is like a roasted sweeter green tea. I either drink it plain or, for a more elevated experience, with milk like I normally do with black tea. The thickness and warmth of the tea (plain) is about medium (midway between water and hot chocolate), but increases with milk added to it. This tea is great for sipping with friends presented as a tea ceremony using a traditional tea set, or in a mug by the fireplace.

Alexander
(verified owner) Submitted on:First, I must clarify that I don’t brew hot. I enjoy iced tea. Therefore, I cold brew my teas in the refrigerator. This is LOVELY! The grassy astringency associated with green tea is very mild. Of course, no doubt my brew method contributes to the mild character that I’m reporting here. But still, this is lovely.
It has a buttery flavor profile with beautiful grassy undertones and a nicely balanced roasted lingering finish that makes this tea an awesome experience. I HIGHLY recommend it.
Oh, and I’ve gotten at least four steeps out of a 10 gram dose. I steep 10 grams into 64 ounces (nearly 2 L) of distilled cold water using the County Line Kitchen – Cold Brew Mason Jar sold here in Amazon.
Absolutely fabulous!

(verified owner) Submitted on:This is one of my new go-to brands for green tea. You can smell and taste the difference in quality from other green teas, especially when compared to tea bags. I typically use tea bags, but loose leaf tea is actually really easy to prep and there are brewing instructions included! I was impressed with the packaging, and appreciate that I can reuse the tin and buy refills. Would buy again, especially for a gift.

(verified owner) Submitted on:I just started drinking Hojicha tea. The roasted flavor is inviting and I totally fell in love with this green tea.
It’s really easy to prepare and it minimizes debris in the cup. It’s price is well calculated.

(verified owner) Submitted on:Simply amazing! The favor is so rich which I love the most about this tea. Additionally, I like how they put all instructions and information on their package which is a solid tin! I always wonder how much caffeine contained in my tea. It’s nice to know that Hojicha has such a low caffeine since I usually drink a tea after dinner. Just perfect for me! Highly recommend to people looking for a high quality Japanese teas. This tea is top notch!

Keith
(verified owner) Submitted on:For someone who isn’t an avid green tea drinker (because of low caffeine tolerance), this is the perfect tea for me. The flavor is there and it doesn’t overdo it on the caffeine. Love it!
Mark
(verified owner) Submitted on:I tried Senbird’s powdered hojicha prior so my ranking is off. The powdered version was by blendy stick and the flavor was bold, this brew yourself version was light and required some tweaking to get that “bold” taste I preferred.
Nathan
(verified owner) Submitted on:Super high quality tea. Will buy from this company again.
Shirley
(verified owner) Submitted on:Though I have just started drinking Hojicha, I found the flavor of Senbird’s Hojicha subtle but entirely pleasant. The roasted flavor blankets the palette warmly while hints of sweetness invite the flavor to linger a moment after you swallow. The loose leaf tea pieces are larger than what I’ve experienced in Hojicha tea bags which minimized debris in my teapot and cup.
Sandra

(verified owner) Submitted on:This is the first tea we have tried from senbird. I have to say it’s really good. As a matter of fact we have also ordered the soybean, and the buckwheat one. Everything we have tried is excellent. I placed another order on December 14 as a Christmas gift thinking I wouldn’t get on time. It came in plenty of time!! Thank you so much!!! Your company rocks!!!! I will definitely keep ordering from Senbird for all my tea needs!!

(verified owner) Submitted on:Good night time tea. It is in fact low caffeine because I have been drinking at night after meal and it doesn’t affect my sleep cycle like other tea does. Very mild and tasty. Smooth. Very pleasant tea to drink. As suggested, I drink after dinner before bed and it does not keep me up. A must for night time tea lovers.
