Distinctive flavour that is an acquired taste This unique, roasted tea of the Kyoto area has a distinctive flavour, smoky aroma and a rough, untamed appearance, with unrolled dark brown leaves of various sizes and even small twigs. Drink it throughout the day to stay well hydrated, including when you’re out and about. Just put it in your travel flask and you’re ready to go. Food with lots of flavour and aroma, like yakiniku or gyoza. As a whiskey chaser, or when making sure to stay hydrated before going to sleep at night.
