I just poured the second half of the original bag of Kaga Bocha tea into the tin, and want to toss the bag without forgetting the tea.  As so often, my blog will serve as a memory prop.  The Kaga Bocha tea has several characteristics that made me buy and later enjoy it.  It’s from the Kaga area, near Kanazawa, where I spent my first three months in Japan.  It’s a roasted green tea (houjicha), and the Nippon Steel Corporation canteen served water and houjicha.  Those two points got it chosen.  Its slightly sweet taste and uncomplicated preparation made it enjoyable beyond standard houjicha and favorable emotional circumstances.

Now I can toss the bag.
