Hojicha Gyokuro from Länggass
Blind Western (31 X 21): It was clear when brewing even it's hojicha. The nose is quite nice, however, dry coffee; barley and paper glue; I can't help but think of candied orange zest as a pairing. Really quite pleasant! Cup has this annoying hojicha note that I can't quite pin down, basic, unsatisfying, cellar-like. It needs some brown sugar. Quite a bold, multidimensional flavour, great for pairing. (I presume the taste is from the stalks.)
