Genmaicha and Matcha

Green Tea by Grand Tea

Organic genmaicha matcha-iri is perfect combination of medium roasted brown rice, matcha (green tea powder) and high-grade green tea leaf. It has a toasty flavor and inviting aroma from the roasted rice. The matcha mixed in with the tea gives it a very distinct and smooth flavour.

Our organic teas are all grown without the use of agricultural chemicals and using non-chemical fertilizers only.

Another tea from TeaEqualsBliss
This is only the second kind of Genmaicha + Matcha blend I have tried.
This is good.
Dry leaves give off a bit of dried Seaweed smell, add water and a tinge of bitterness and popcorn shine through.
Taste does not pop but it is a good tea to have with lunch.

Prior to steep…no smell. During/After Steep…smells like on-the-verge-of-burning-popcorn.

Green Murky Looking once infused.

It’s texture-E
Not sure about it.

It’s not bad but it’s very different…on the verge of odd, maybe.
I’ll give this another whirl at another time

I remember trying this well over a year ago and got another sample of it last week. Contrary to my last review…I do really like this!

It seems it’s the better of both worlds…Genmaicha and Matcha! Both are visible! Both are pretty nifty! After infusion…the liquid is VERY murky but very flavorful! a brothy and hefty green tea. Hardy Roasted Puffs, too! This gets a thumbs up from me!

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

This is alright. Not the best Uji Genmaicha that I’ve tried, but, it’s not bad either. Unlike other Uji Genmaicha, I can hardly taste the Matcha in this. It is very toasty and delicious, but considerably lighter in composition than what I expected. Good, but not great.
