Another tea courtesy of the amazing ifjuly – thank you so much.
Wasn’t sure what to expect from this – was thinking it would be a nutty, roasty, green – sort of like a genmaicha, but then how does the pu’erh fit in? As it turns out, the pu’erh fits in really nice – ok the pu’erh is in the back and not really distinguishable, but it’s there and I think it’s adding a richness and some depth to it.
I really like this, it is sort of genmaicha – nutty, roasted, green – but the corn is interesting and really noticeable – but it works. Yep, I would order more of this, it’s unusual but comforting. Thanks ifjuly – I think this one belongs in the “odd choice” baggie – it’s strange and needs to be shared… thanks for sharing.
That sounds really interesting.
LOL it’s kind of like genmaicha with corn instead of rice, then the pu’erh adds just a touch of earthiness depth and richness. It’s really interesting in a good way. :))
And toasted buckwheat! :)
odd choice for sure, haha. i’m gonna start using that terminology whenever possible! (:
