drank Organic Sencha Genmaicha by Yuuki-cha
676 tasting notes

This is an okay genmaicha. There’s more toasted rice in here than tea. Just a basic genmaicha taste, quite drinkable but not particularly memorable. Tastes good by itself, as a cold brew, and makes a good base for blending with other teas.

Flavors: Rice, Toasty

Preparation
170 °F / 76 °C 1 min, 0 sec 4 g 8 OZ / 236 ML

I bought this last year and enjoyed it. It lasted awhile and just finished it up this summer. I enjoy it with meals (which is unusual for me as I usually drink all my teas on their own) but this one makes me hungry. What teas did you blend it with?

I felt like this one doesn’t taste very fresh and mostly consists of toasted rice. So I remedy that by mixing in some regular sencha or sometimes sakura sencha to give it a nice floral kick.

Tarui Tea Farm Organic Genmaicha from Yunomi, with those popcorn looking pieces in it, is the best genmaicha I’ve tried.

My Rating Criteria:

95 to 100: Top shelf stuff. Loved this tea and highly recommend it

90 to 94: Excellent. Enjoyed this tea and would likely repurchase

80 to 89: Good but not great. I liked it though it may be lacking in some aspects. I’ll finish it but probably won’t buy again

70 to 79: Average at best. Not terrible but wouldn’t willingly drink again

60 to 69: Sub-par. Low quality tea, barely palatable

59 and below: Bleh

Fell into tea many years ago and for a long time my experience was limited to Japanese greens and flavored Teavana teas. My tea epiphany happened when I discovered jade oolongs. That was my gateway drug to the world of high quality tea and teaware.

For the most part, I drink straight tea but do appreciate a good flavored tea on occasion. I love fresh green and floral flavors and as such, green tea and Taiwanese oolongs will always have a place in my cupboard. After avoiding black tea forever, Chinese blacks have started to grow on me. I’m less enthusiastic about puerh though. I also enjoy white tea and tisanes but reach for them less frequently.

Other non-tea interests include: cooking, reading, nature, philosophy, MMA, traveling when I can, and of course putzing around on the interwebs.
