MATCHA-THON Matcha #6…

I kind of forgot that I still had some of this one! I have more of an appreciation for it now. Upping the rating! Genmai to the MAX…roasted popped rice, nutty, veggie-goodness!

Yum! I love the roasty-toasty notes together with the fresh, unmistakable taste of Matcha. There is a hint of matcha bitterness to it too, that cuts through some of the sweetness of the roasted Genmaicha notes. Really a delicious tea.

With my loose leaf Genmai Matcha, Shizuoka also sent a teabag… and that is what I’m having right now. I prefer the loose leaf, but this is good for a bagged (pyramid sachet) tea, and one thing that I like about this particular tea bag is that the tag has a little notch in it to attach to the rim of the cup. A small feature, but it makes it just a little easier to steep because the tag doesn’t go for a swim in the brewing tea (I always seem to lose the end of the string in the teacup!)

Deliciously toasty and sweet. Very soothing.

This was a good genmaicha with matcha. It has a nice sweet aftertaste that gets more strong on the 2nd steep, and it lingers several seconds which is very nice. (I think the matcha covers this sweet aftertaste in the 1st steeping).
I enjoyed this tea, but it seemed fairly standard to me, nothing exciting, though no real faults either. The leaf itself is very small; it looks like a fukamushi, but I’m not sure.

Thanks to LiberTeas, for sending this surprise sample!!
