December 6 - Genmaicha


David's Tea - Genmaicha

Suggested serving

Amount: 1 tsp
Time:   2 - 3 min
Temperature: 74° C
Notes: Low Caffeine.

Ingredients: Japanese-style green tea, roasted rice

Review: Ahhh, this brings back memories of Japan, and even Korea. I've always associated Genmaicha with warmth and comfort and this version does not disappoint. The roasted, somewhat subtle, flavour of the puffed rice along with the slight bitterness of green tea create an almost perfect balance. The aroma is also subtle but enticing.

Rating: 8.5/10
