another tea from variaTEA….i’m still hoping i can get to 200 teas before next weekend rolls around…god that’s a lot of tea to drink before july 1st haha.
this is a pretty average genmaicha to me. there’s nothing to set it apart from the others i’ve had but nothing to make it a terrible tea either.it’s a middle of the road sort of genmaicha which means a pleasant cup to drink but nothing i need to go out of my way to drink more of :)
I love genmaicha, but this one is just average for me. It’s really nice to look at, lots of fluffy popped grains of rice. It’s just not toasty enough for me, and that makes it too green.
It’s ok, and if you prefer a less roasted genmaicha, you might like this one – but this isn’t my favorite.

Late night Genmaicha.
I wanted popcorn, but I waited too long to make it and now it’s nearly midnight, so I’m being a good tenant and not running the popper because I know that’s a dick thing to do to our landlord trying to sleep upstairs. Still, I’m a little disappointed regardless.
Anyway, this was good! I really enjoyed cradling the cup close to me and smelling it; I’m not sure why (especially since this just tastes average), but this is the best smelling Genmaicha I’ve ever had, and it made me feel really comforted to have it close to me where I could enjoy it like that. It tasted good too, which is probably worth pointing out.
One more cup and it’s gone; but I’ve decided that once I’ve finished this, my RiverTea Genmaicha sample, and my Genmai Hojicha from DT I’m finally breaking open the 52Teas Marshmallow Treat! That’s giving me incentive to finish it up quickly.
My Marshmallow Treat is sealed up too but I have S’mores Genmaicha to drink as well as my beloved Japon so I am not itching to get at it. However, NayLynn was super kind and included a pack of the Strawberry Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha in our swap and something tells me I will have a hard time not ripping into that.
Given my need to try all the genmaichas, I grabbed some of this the last time I was at CaesarsTea. This is not one I will be getting again. The base is not as vegetal as most of the other green teas but there is still something off about this that I just can’t put my finger on. Perhaps Roswell Strange will figure it out as I may have tossed a couple cups worth in a swap since she too wants to try all the genmaichas.
Have you tried the Den’s Genmaicha extra green with added matcha?
I have not. Although I have had other genmaichas with matcha added that I enjoyed.
Yeah, those are yummy :)
Camellia Sinensis makes one that has added sencha and matcha. It is one of the first genmaichas, if not THE first, that I tried.
I’m a little worried about how big this package is going to be. Will it be easy to get back under 200 once it arrives?
I don’t think I sent THAT much and what I did send are small samples. I honestly don’t remember what got tossed into the bag tbh though. I think mostly just the teas you requested.
I second the deliciousness of Den’s genmaicha extra green!
I felt the same way. Good, but nothing to write home about.
