This tea brews up to a neon retro lime green. What fun I thought! I had high hopes for this tea based on the reviews and my positive experience with Samovar. But, alas, I just don’t like genmaicha tea. I can’t get over the liquid popcorn taste. Worst, as I take my tea with sugar usually, the addition of sugar, only turns this into liquid kettle corn….
This seems like a fine version of a genmaicha although not my type. I will set my numerical rating to reflect the consensus so I don’t skew the ratings….

eww, liquid kettle corn! I’ll be sure to remember that if I ever get the urge to sweeten my genmaicha.
Don’t try it…
liquid kettle corn? um… eww. just… eww…
but…i like kettle corn
::throws up a little in mouth::
LOL. Lori I still have the genmaicha you sent me and I’m scared to try it! It just stares at me everytime I open my sample box:)
SoccerMom – that is how I am w Pu Erh! Ricky mentioned “fish tank” and I can’t seem to get over it! It stares and stares…
Aha- I knew I sent it away to several unsuspecting folks- I just could not remember who they were! Some like it you should give it a try. I am finally getting rid of the last of my genmaicha sample….
SoccerMom—Maybe you’ll like it! It’s more of a “savory” tea than a sweet one…I don’t taste popcorn as much as maybe crisped rice or a rice cake?
I like kettle corn too! I love the combination of sweet and salty. I may have to add sugar to this! :)
