I just got my order from David’s in the mail, and this was one of my three samples. Out of the three I was most excited to try this one; I’ve seen it in-store but wanted to try it before buying. The thought of putting toasty rice (and popped rice) in tea is fun…how could it not taste fun?!
The taste I wouldn’t exactly describe as “fun.” It wasn’t like a party in my mouth…but it was darn good. Toasty, green tea-y, rice-y. The colour of the steeped tea is very light, so at first I thought maybe I hadn’t steeped long enough. But any longer and it would have been really bitter. It was just right!
I would definitely buy this one. I might not ever have much of it stocked in the drawer at once, but it’s a nice go-to tea when I want something light and toasty while working at my desk.
