3 Tasting Notes
Yonsei Blend is a mixture of green tea and chai tea. This tea has hints of vanilla and cinnamon at the very first sip. It’s somewhat hard to detect the green tea as the Indian spices overpower it, but every now and then you get hints of a vegetal taste from the bancha. The combination works to create a tea more luscious than either tea alone.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Fruity, Vanilla, Vegetal
Preparation
Genmai-Cha Brown Rice Tea is what I would call a “savory” tea. There’s a strong flavor in between toast and cooked rice with a vague hint of nuttiness. I believe it would pair nicely with any savory food or substitute for a vegetable broth.
If you’re into sweeter teas, this probably won’t be your cup of tea. For me, this may be a new staple.
Flavors: Broth, Nutty, Roasted, Toasty
