Maple Nut

This tea is an interesting combination of two differently processed green teas. It is part Gunpowder green tea, where the leaves are rolled up into little pellets and have a hint of smoky sweetness. The other part is Hojicha, which is a green tea that has been roasted, giving it a brownish appearance. It ends up tasting more like an oolong instead of a green tea. So the base of this tea is the roasted green tea, and then maple flavoring and apple pieces give it a fantastically sweet nutty maple flavor. If you like dark oolongs, this is a tea you will enjoy. You can steep it more like an oolong or black tea instead of like a green tea.
