Popcorn Tea?
Well, I love Genmaicha, so I suppose it wasn’t too much of a leap…
And what a joyous leap it was! I have fallen deeply in love with this tea.
The smell is delightful – just like caramel corn. Brewed up, the apple and maple flavours really come forward. It is definitely sweet, but there is a nice tartness from the apples that balances it out. My only wish is that the green tea flavour was a bit more prominent. As it is, I like to steep it on the longish side to get just a hint of bitterness from the tea – I think it offsets the sweetness a bit.
I like it with just a drop of agave as a dessert. Or plain and naked during the day. Or yes, smuggled into the movie theatre.
A definite favourite.
