Woof. i remember really liking this tea when I got it eons ago in a Lupicia Fukubukuro bag. It has all the elements I tend to enjoy – matcha, genmaicha, savory elements, beans…. But this is one in my collection that has not stood the test of time. the matcha wasn’t the highest quality when i got this blend, but it was drinkable and arguably very delicious. These days, the color and fun of the matcha has all but faded away. What i’m left with is a marshy green cup of undrinkable swill. It’s a bummer, but there is no saving this tea. I put this down as a “Least Favorite Tea” in Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge, which is true only because this tea is old and gross now hehe. Maybe I’ll order it again and drink it in a timely manner LOL
I mainly liked this one as a latte. Have you tried it with milk and a good dose of sweetener?
I will definitely try that before I decide if I wanna keep drinking this one! Milk and sweetener in genmaicha is an unexpected pairing for sure
