Genmaicha

Not to my liking

It seems I first brought it and it was too strong and better. I have now brewed at 3 and 4 minutes and I find it having very little taste. I may have thought I was buying matcha. I'm also curious as to what the white beads are that look like Styrofoam.

excellent product and packaging

The addition of the beautifully toasted rice makes this tea memorable

I have a special deeply personal connection to this tea as it was over a pot of this tea in the Tea House at Grace Farms that my special someone and I decided to take our relationship to the next level but I know that’s not why you will love it. Genmaicha combines two of my favorite things as a Korean, green tea and toasted rice. If you have ever eaten at an authentic Korean restaurant, you are served rice in a small clay pot that when you finish it, there are remnants stuck to the bottom. A server will come with a kettle of hot water for you to scrape those perfectly charred remnants and then drink it from the pot like a tea/soup. It is one of my favorite parts of the meal, I love that taste and when I sip this tea, I am transported to my favorite restaurant in KTown (NYC). I will continue to purchase this tea again and again. paired with the teapot and cups, this makes a perfect hostess gift!
