I loved your article on Matcha and Hojicha as much as I love both teas!
I'm from Japan and practiced Japanese tea ceremony growing up. I think you did a fantastic job (as expected from you, Claire!) clearing up some fog around 'bad' matcha and introducing hojicha. It upsets me greatly that many matcha lattes offered here (Buffalo, NY) is so watery and have a bitter, more pronounced grassy flavor. I wish I could try your collab drink because that sounds heavenly!

So wish I could give your collab a try! I'm a huge matcha fan and hope to visit Uji for a tea ceremony when I'm in Japan next year.
