From Numi Organic Tea

ingredients: organic sencha green tea, organic toasted rice

Japanese legend tells of a servant named Gen Mai who created this tea after rice fell from his pocket into a samurai’s pot. The result was a nutty flavor that enriched the lively clean taste of Sencha, a traditional Japanese green tea. Picked in the spring, its needle-like leaves are rolled, flattened and steamed then blended with toasted rice to create a savory brew. With a bright yellow hue and robust aroma, Gen Mai Cha is a hearty and popular tea commonly served at meals, as it cleanses the palate.

Solid. Reminds of free Japanese restaurant tea.

My husband Will just tried this one…here’s his take on it….
a little bitter but still pleasing to the pallet, has a semi-sweet aftertaste, leaves your mouth a bit dry, and has almost a soy taste to it as it settles in the cup….brews up a pale greenish-yellow. Pretty normal as far as green tea goes. Good.

I found this tea a little light on the rice flavor.

I almost never drink green tea in bags, but this one is particularly good. I reach for this when I’m dying for a cup of genmaicha, but don’t have time/resources to brew the loose leaf.

This tastes milder than it smells, and it also has a weird aftertaste. Gen Mai Cha is one of my favorite greens, but this particular one is mediocre.
