My go-to Genmaicha. I may drink this tea more than any other tea at the time of this tasting note. This has been my choice of Genmaicha for about two years. I can acquire it easily through a local organic food market, it’s cheap, it’s nutty, it has a good balance of flavors for Genmaicha.
It probably won’t knock your socks off, but for me at least, it is a tea that I keep going back to and can drink all day without growing sick of it.

This, and the frontier Bancha are great bargain green teas. The bancha is pretty grassy, but I like that in my green teas. I pick them up at whole foods in the bulk spice area for a pretty good price.
