Interesting! A very interesting tea. I have tried the Genmaicha Chai from Yogic Chai in the past, and so I was excited to try it with the Lemongrass addition. It adds a nice dimension of flavor.
The Genmaicha is somewhat softened by the presence of the spices and lemongrass, but not so much that it disappears. A slight toasted nut note sits in the background. The lemongrass adds a light citrus-y note and a slight creamy tone to the cup.
This is really good!
This is a perfect cup of chai.
Everything balances out so nicely. The spices are perfect, and the lemongrass goes really well with the genmaicha.
