Hojicha Bancha Loose Leaf Cube 80g

The charcoal roast comes through beautifully—that nutty, caramelised smell fills the kitchen the second the water hits the leaves. Even with the lower caffeine, it still gives me that calm, grounded feeling I need after dinner.

Even with my heavy hand on the scoop, the first steep came out smooth and mellow, not bitter at all. That low caffeine hit is perfect for a late afternoon cup, and the caramelised scent lingers in the mug for a while.

Brewing this at night is a game changer since it's low-caffeine but still full of that toasty, roasted depth. The 80g cube is perfect for my daily evening cup, and the aroma fills the whole kitchen.
