Joey Scola drank No. 1912 Rose City Genmaicha by Steven Smith Teamaker

4 tasting notes

Absolutely love this tea. One of my personal favorites.
I’m a fan of genmaicha in general and this Steven Smith blend has done a wonderful job in pulling together the toasted rice and grassy notes of a traditional genmaicha with a sweet floral rose. The rose permeates both the flavor and aroma in a most pleasant way. Subtle notes of toasted rice and sweet grass reveal themselves on the backend of each sip.

Flavors: Bergamot, Rose, Sweet, Warm Grass, Toasted Rice

Preparation

180 °F / 82 °C 3 min, 0 sec 2 g 8 OZ / 236 ML

Bio

I was introduced to tea as less of a traditionalist and more from a health conscious perspective, but I’ve become fascinated by tea culture and I’m excited to continue exploring these magic elixirs.

I’m a child of the 80’s, a nerd at heart, and an aspiring entrepreneur: retro games, sci-fi books, marketing, biohacking, health and fitness, MMA.

On a personal note:
My father was diagnosed with GBM brain cancer in 2014 and passed 14 months later. That period in my life was a catalyst for my life mission and has redirected my path from tech to tea. I’ve since founded Wise Ape Tea, a healthy-lifestyle tea company focused on altruism and personal evolution. We’re a brand steeped in altruism, partnering each of our tea blends with a unique non-profit to donate % of sales.

I very much look forward to connecting with the steepster community and continuing to evolve my tea knowledge.

Cheers,
Joe
