From Baisa Nakamura

Genmaicha is refreshing and easy to drink, and even when brewed in cold water you can still feel the aroma.
It uses tea leaves that are blended for genmaicha, so that it is easy to drink on a daily basis and doesn’t become heavy even if you drink a lot.

After discovering jasmine tea (mostly teabag) I stumbled upon genmaicha. Not bagged. Through the many years, I’ve tried every category of tea, white, yellow, green, oolong, black (red), and dark, and different flavored, blended, and scented teas and tisanes. And while I have many that rank on my rebuy and keep in the cupboard list there is something about genamicha. Not all genmaicha is made the same either. Many are made from bancha which is harvested later in the season. Which isn’t a bad thing but I often find the bite from a it to be unpleasant. However, ones made with a higher grade sencha… ooo so good.

It also helps that I have been to the shop and I know personally just how special this place is. They grow their own tea and then process it on the adorably small machinery in their shop. They even have a small temomi table!

Dry Appearance: Brown rice with an equal amount of pale green stems and pine green tightly rolled leaves.
Dry Aroma: The first time I opened the bag it was like the kind of genmai had appeared.
Flavor: Rice and slight grass.
Wet Aroma: Slightly toasty brown rice, a bit of coffee,
