From Mariage Frères

This blend from Tokyo is an unexpected marriage between two teas from the Uji region, the noble Matcha, aristocratic powdered tea used in the Japanese tea ceremony and the Genmaicha, popular blend of sencha green tea and roasted rice.

The leaves have the jade green colour of the Matcha.

The cup, bright green colour, has a strong taste. The liquor is mild, with the notes of grains and hazelnuts of the rice, the vegetal fragrance of the sencha tea and the smooth, sweet aroma of the Matcha tea.

Today brunch at Mariage Frères rue des Grands Augustins. I’ve been very disappointed with the brunch card.It often changes but what they were proposing today wasn’t really for my tastes. However I drank a Margaret’s Hope and I did not like it … raaaaah.

My friend Valerie has chosen a Genmaïcha and I liked it so I bought 100 grams.And I asked for a sample of this Kaori Cha which is also a Genmaïcha but with Matcha in .

The tea liquor is obviously very green, semi opaque, hazy … mysterious … and this liquor smells crisped rice.

The taste … a good Genmaïcha, matcha is present but really in a supportive role. Crisped rice is very present, green tea is definitely there.

I like this tea but I do not know if this is a tea I would often drink. I find it perfect to use during a dinner or lunch. It is very well balanced. But, no chance for me for a breakfast, not even if the contribution of matcha caffeine would wake me gently up … I cannot imagine breakfast without a black tea or an Oolong tea heavily oxidized. At least not for now.

I took a lot of pics of my session with this tea, Genmaïchas are so lovely… you can see them here : http://thevangeliste.wordpress.com/2014/09/13/kaori-cha-mariage-freres/

I’m jealous that you can go to brunch at MF… I’ve been dreaming of travelling to France lately… perhaps my body is telling me something!

Tuscanteal It may be better to wait a little to travel to France …just the time for MF to change the brunch card :)

Well it most likely will not be until next year, so that is plenty of time for them!!
