Full disclosure: this tea was sent to me as a free sample by the vendor. However, there was no expectation that I would provide a review.
May as well move on to my other genmai-cha sample. This one a bit dustier and without so much rice.
Flavors are toasty but swing towards a sweet greenness quickly. Lingering glutamates from the rice stick on the palate. Still pretty rice heavy, but with more leaf and more kelpiness. Enjoyable, but simple.
