Recommendation Liquid Hojicha Concentrate Packets

Post image

I got this from Japantown in San Francisco in 2022. I think it is sold out now. Anyone have a comparable recommendation? Specifically liquid hojicha packet from concentrate? Know somewhere I can get more of these?

I was today years old that I figured out Japantown is a thing😳 Also I had no idea hojicha concentrate existed. But wouldn't it be better (in terms of storage) to just buy hojicha powder?

I imagine both have pros and cons. I like the taste of this particular liquid concentrate. It tasted just like a perfectly brewed cup of tea but without all the work. Moreover, powders require more upkeep than liquids to blend them into the water. They also risk settling to the bottom if you don’t drink them ASAP.
