This was my first time trying Gen Mai Cha due to a tea fairy earlier this year. The toastiness of the rice was an interesting flavor and delightful scent to experience. The green tea itself was bland, but the roasted rice flavor made the tea enjoyable. The sampler was enough for 2 mugs of tea, so I tried it on different days about mid day.

In the early 2000’s, my brother worked for a grocery company that removed items from the shelves and I ended up with a cabinet filled with random tea.
After I finished that cabinet, I started trying new things and exploring the world of tea. Still exploring, still learning, and loving this community.
I tend to take my tea with no additions and quite hot. Though often I find myself having to reheat my mug due to distractions. I’m partial to herbals, white tea, green, and blacks. But I really will try anything once.
