Maple Houjicha

I'm so pleased with thus tea! It's roasted leaves and maple flavor are so complementary. A wonderful tea for breakfast.

I love the Maple Houjicha tea from Friday Afternoon! The maple flavor is so delicious and natural- none of that nasty fake maple flavor here- and it melds with the toasty Houjicha notes perfectly. It is tasty with or without milk and perfect for chilly winter (or spring!) mornings.

I caught this tea just before it went out of season and I'm so glad. The aroma is heavenly and it makes a beautiful tea with a delicate maple flavor. I'll buy this one again!

I've had other maple teas, and I've had other houjicha, and I've not liked any of them nearly as much as this one. For me, the clear maple aroma is definitely a plus.

Fantastic on its own; also pairs well with baked goods and many other snacks.

Having a houjicha season lately, so I finally tried this one. I could sniff this tea all day. The maple is so lovely with that toasted houjicha smell. In the cup, it's in the category of fine, but the maple isn't necessary. I trend toward a preference for 'don't add flavoring to tea' but Friday's shown a really deft hand with adding flavors that don't overpower the tea. Here, it does blend well and is perfectly drinkable, I just find myself thinking I'd prefer it plain. I love houjicha as a supporting character in other blends, but I guess I've learned that I like it standing alone when it's the star of the show.
