I was just about to pour my 6-8 oz water over it when I read this and saw “each bag makes 2-3 cups” so instead of doing re-steeps I decided to start over, make 2cups hot, drink half and chill the other half.
I was hoping for a matcha burst of energy but in a lighter form than straight matcha. I like how this is sweeter and smoother than other (admittedly low quality) genmaichas I’ve tried! Will write more later…

as instructed: brought kettle to rolling boil, let sit 6 min, then steeped tea.
so nice to see a teabag that tells you how to get the right temp for white tea!
brew up a lovely pink/purple with a good tart/sweet balance and clean dry finish. not bad for bagged grocery store tea! then again I grew up w Safeway so I’m partial to them and miss them!

billed as strong enough to handle milk, yet mild enough to be served alone.
I added just a splash of almond milk, but decided the clove was a bit too harsh so I went back and added more 1% milk to make it a bit creamier. I wanted something warm that tasted like fall, and it’s 9pm, so this random teabag I had fit the bill. ::shrug::

Well I finally broke down and bought this over the weekend, and then today decided I had to break into it to celebrate some good news.
I will probably try this with milk and sugar next time to be completely decadent, but decided to have it au natural for the first time out. The hazelnut really starts to come out as it cools (don’t be like me and burn your tongue out of impatience!) A great dessert tea with bittersweet chocolate overtones and a hint of nuttiness, but you can still taste the tea underneath.
