They are worth ordering from Japan. It's my morning tea. I like the new packaging on the tea bags. Easier to open.

It is what I need.
- KZKarina Z.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9/1/22Good taste
If you haven't tried hojicha in your life, then I highly recommend. It basically is roasted tea, and it kinda tastes like something between tea and coffee and has a very fragrant and satisfying aroma.
Preparation instructions are on the back of package in both Japanese and English.

When I had my first cup of this tea, it caused an upset stomach. I have not tried it since.
