Bear Gelato — Hojicha Oat Milk Latte Gelato (Seasonal)
bear gelato, auckland, new zealand

Yabukita Hojicha (Light Roast) | Shizuoka | Imperial Grade
thanks so much to ryan & kahwen — the first business to sit through my very casual, unprofessional, freestyle sales pitch 😂
you two are the loveliest & make damn good gelato
their cny pineapple tart gelato is my favourite, & i like to enhance it with a green sichuan peppercorn syrup
grateful you've been so accommodating to my honest suggestions, not just across multiple batches of the hojicha oat milk gelato but on a few of your other flavours too!
cool people that use my tea

lerryn at little honey eatery is even more unhinged than me & i love it
i found his restaurant through reddit & figured i'd do a solo dining experience — ended up inadvertently showcasing my matcha & hojicha in exchange for his coffee beans, & had a wonderful dinner & a 3-hour chat
i still think about his fermented golden kiwifruit juice a few times a month
