Sipdown!
Finished this off last night while working on some homework due today in my feature writing class. It was less umami than in previous infusions.
On a related note, I no longer have any genmaicha in the house. What are your favourites? I bought this from Yunomi, and although they have great stuff I don’t know if I want to make an order just for this. Any recommendations? I think my favourite genmaicha so far is Sloane’s Grand Genmaicha because it’s got a very brothy taste to it.

Cheap stuff from T&T. :) But I don’t generally drink genmaicha. I think the last time I had it regularly was when I was in Japan.
This brand, the Tokuyo Genmaicha, is what I’ve purchased in the past.

I am on again and off again with genmaicha. I’ve gotten some from Tealux (Tealyra) in small quantities and have been happy with their selection.
I’ve tried the Tokuyo stuff (Uba, I think you sent me a bunch) and I remember thinking it was kind of “meh”.
Was that one Tealux? It might have been one I got from a Japanese supermarket.
Ah, it was Gyokuro Genmaicha from Tealux. I can’t remember what it was like. It’s been awhile since I had it.
I always tend to like matcha genmaicha’s better than plain genmaicha, only because it enhances the brothiness. I want my genmaicha to feel as thick as it smells, and that helps.
I have a wonderful 15 to 30 teabags of genmaicha from Japan that I’m making myself drink. What’s the best steep time and temp for this kind of tea? I’m only sometimes successful
