Yamane-en Burdock Root Tea

Burdock root tea is some type of new tea on the market. Since a doctor in Japan proclaimed how healthy it is this tea is booming. According to some notes this tea should be rich in nutrients like iron, copper, magnesium, calcium, saponin and dietary fiber.

First of all I really enjoyed this little logs respectively later in their hot mood like bacon / meat cubes a lot. I mean you can’t treat this burdock roots the same way like other teas which are highly masterpieces. But this very tea is light, in some way spicy and perfect for every fish or meat dish you could think of. If you would explain it in two groups because that’s exactly what it is then it would be Japanese Genmaicha and on the otherside a Korean cereal / barley tea.

To go more into detail it is definitely fresh, lightly spicy with a hint of menthol on your palatal. Then a lot of nuances joining this session like corn, a feeling of bread like crispbread or zwieback, steamed carrots, green onions and a aftertaste of hazelnut creme with dark chocolate. This aftertaste is quite intense like the hole aromatic scent of it. Quality wise it is a good persistent tea which you can enjoy around 5 times. After the last infusion you are able to eat the burdock roots.
