This is one of the teas I got as a sample from Zen Teas. I’ll start off by saying I love genmaicha teas, but this one, to me, was special. It has the trademark roasted, toasty, savory flavor that other genmaichas I’ve had possess, but it also had a wonderful grassy, sweet aftertaste from the green tea. It was a totally unexpected flavor that I was pleasantly surprised with.
As far as genmaicha goes, this one is my top pick. I’m very likely to be adding this to my cupboard in the near future.
I’ve been a bagged tea drinker for a very long time, just recently expanding my horizons to the world of loose leaf. You may notice from my “collection” I seem to be particular of a certain brand; I am definitely keen on finding other high quality online retailers and it seems this is the place to look! In terms of tastes, it’s hard to pick a favorite tea. For me, there’s a tea for every emotion. A tea for every craving. From sophisticated and refined tea, to wild and exciting blends, it’s impossible to get bored with all the choices tea has to offer.
I’m not really interested in any personal exchanges, but I’d love some retailer recommendations. I’m especially a sucker for retailers with samples, and purchases that come with storage tins (they keep my tea shelf so pretty~!).
Of course my interests aren’t limited to tea, but that’s what I’m here for, so this bio will have to do for now~!
