Out of the zip bag it smells with green tea and dried apple.
After steeping it seems a bit murky, lightly golden. Smells with popped rice, apples and the base teas.
The taste is heavy on the popped rice, which is good, because I love that aspect of genmaicha. Plus only a bit of dried apples in the background, a trace of cinnamon and strong grassy character.
Not bad, but seems too watery and bland.

Flavors: Apple, Cinnamon, Grass, Hay, Rice, Toasted Rice

Preparation
180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 15 sec 4 g 10 OZ / 300 ML

I drink tea almost all the time.

However, my tea drinking can be divided into two main categories.

1. I work a lot at my computer and when I work, I need to always have tea at hand. That’s when I drink bag varieties, mostly black blends, often corporate ones. They need to be at least drinkable, of course, but I don’t focus on the taste much, though I don’t go below a certain level…

2. When I read (and read a lot) or when I’m just relaxing, I savor tea. That’s when the better varieties come into play, that’s when I use leafs instead of bags, that’s when I really focus on what I’m drinking.

I’m Polish, temporarily living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
