Den’s Tea Genmaicha was my first foray into Genmaicha (green tea [usually Sencha] blended with roasted/toasted brown rice) and I am absolutely hooked! I even bought another premium tea purveyor’s Genmaicha to compare (my review of this tea will come later).
My followers will know already about my steeping routine; I keep the tea bag in the duration of enjoying my cuppa. I enjoy a strong cuppa.
The aroma is of toast, toasted pine nuts and popcorn and yet, it’s clean and earthy simultaneously.
The taste follows what your nose smells. It is very much the tasting notes of what you smell, toasty, nutty, popcorn, clean and earthy. The earthiness comes from the Sencha even though Sencha is known for it’s brighter, somewhat astringent characteristics; but with this tea, the Sencha gives this blend an earthy under-note rather than it’s prominence.
The aftertaste is of roasty, toastiness with a clean finish.
This tea is very comforting, soothing, warming and refreshing. A delightful tea to cleanse the palate; or to enjoy on a crisp, rainy Autumn day or evening!
I would highly recommend this tea…a must buy!

Not to be inappropriate, nasty, argumentative or otherwise, but what’s the difference?…it’s the same tea? All I want is for people to read, be informative and ENJOY! ;>)
Eh, I am just one of those people who likes things orderly and this just feels like disorder and confusion. But of course it doesn’t really matter at all!
Oh and it’s not really THAT confusing, it’s just I wish all duplications on this site could be combined..
