I like the roasty flavor and can taste the soybean. Not really a fan of the murky look from the matcha, especially further down in the cup. Like it though… Good with cake :)

I’m back from my travels! This was also from The Book of Tea, from which I took a handful of samples before heading back. I realized on the train home that the samples were in the most accessible part of my luggage, so I brewed this one with the hot water that was provided. There’s something uniquely enjoyable about having a hot cup of your own tea while looking out at the ocean view along the California coast! Even the name of the cafe car is the Seaview Cafe—truly we’re spoiled to be living in such a beautiful place :)

The sachet contained sencha leaf bits and dark orange-colored toasted rice kernels, and was tinted green by matcha. There weren’t many black soybean pieces in there, or at least I didn’t find them. The tea brews up to a rich green tint as well. It’s nicely smooth and savory, moreso than the typical genmaicha. The soybean adds a very distinctive dimension. This might sound terrible to some, but it was “oily”—not in any offputting sense of the word, but rather, the natural oils of the rice and soybean had come through the toasting, and made it a very rich tea heavy on the grain notes. The nori (seaweed) quality of the tea was milder than the average sencha. Overall, it was a very substantial and highly unique genmaicha. If you like genmaicha and soybean, as I do, you’ll probably enjoy it!

Sounds delish!

And we need to have a fancy tea party on a train! :D

I haven’t been much for bringing tea with me wherever I go in the past, but it’s sounding like a good idea!

This is a decent genmaicha, but I am slightly disappointed that it doesn’t taste as interesting as its name suggests! I can barely taste the black soybean…

I received this from the most generous ifjuly- thank you so much for sharing.

I don’t really like straight green teas. Genmaicha is not a straight green tea and one that I quite enjoy. This tea has a lot of strange things in it’s name, but really it’s just a nice toasty genmaicha. I have no idea what the black soybean brings to the table. If there is matcha in here, I’m not getting any. Toasty, roasty, rice green tea – that’s what this is and I really like it.

Yikes—what a name! I cannot say that I would ever have thought to try this one… ;-)

LOL don’t let it scare you – this is just a really nice genmaicha..

I love this tea! Big fan of genmaicha, big fan of matcha. Soybeans add a nutty and sweet flavor that reminds me of a barley tea. Delicious! Good iced too!

Drank straight: feels a bit too toasty. I had to reduced the steeping time a bit.
Drank with Teavana German Rock Sugar: actually tastes decent.. really nice!
Drank with honey: prefer the sugar :/ honey doesn’t match with the toasty taste of the tea.

I’m confused though.. is this a herbal tea or green tea? :/
