Ok, the thought that has pressed most heavily on me, as I pondered the right time to drink this was “Sandstorm?”
I mean, is there sand in this tea? Is Sandstorm the name of the tea farm where the genmaicha is created? I am afraid I don’t get it.
I’ve liked the genmaichas I’ve had, they seem to be roasty toasty teas, and the thought of one with fruit flavor, well, that just seemed interesting.
I do get a good taste of blueberry in this, and the genmaicha base is holding its own. It think the two flavors are both good, but I’m not convinced that they are a perfect flavor. I think that maybe a “warmer” fruit flavor might do better here (apple?), but I liked trying this all the same.
My significant other, who loves blueberry, would have liked this. Alas, I drank it all, and left none for him.
Sipdown!
