So, yeah, I’ve been drinking this, and I think I like it best when it is steeped for just a minute or so. Steep it longer and the tea starts to compete with and overpower the rice, which maybe some people would prefer but for me defeats the whole purpose of drinking tea with toasted grains in it.
It’s good on resteeps as well.

Genmaicha is my favorite type of green tea…
the popped rice always reminds me of a barley tea i had when i was little.
