"In short, both my partner and I loved the teas and our overall discussion revolved around how refreshing they would be in restaurants, both for guests wanting to drink something interesting and food friendly without the booze, but also for Sommeliers, giving them another string in their bow in terms of interesting pairings with food. Hojicha was my favourite. This was really interesting; I loved the savoury elements. Notes of pungent, umami, savoury (with lifted sweetness) wet autumn leaf. Food matches: pork, mushrooms, parmesan, roasted tomatoes, roasted nuts, asparagus" - Honey Spencer, sommelier, wine consultant and co-founder of Bastarda
