Organic Genmaicha

Green Tea by Clearspring

Clearspring Organic Genmaicha is a special aromatic green tea with a delightfully nutty flavour.

It is prepared at Nagata Chaen, Kyoto, by blending Clearspring sencha with an equal amount of organic roasted brown rice to create a light tasting tea that can be enjoyed hot or cold either by itself or with food.

Bland and lacking in dimension, with a hint of staleness. The content of the teabag is powdery and brittle, unlike the whole and unblemished leaves I am used to in Teapigs products.

Pleh.

It’s vaguely drinkable but out of five or six genmaichas I’ve tasted it’s the worst. Muddy instead of nutty. Possibly the loose leaf tea would taste better, because the contents of the teabags are very crumbly and dusty (though after tasting this I’m not dropping the money to find out.)
