This tea is extra green, giving a vaguely unsettling feeling as I peer into the cup. It’s just so very…saturated in colour due to the added matcha. Paired with the Feminin I drank yesterday, I hope to be imparted with some sort of super powers in the near future.
This genmai is very heavy on the popped rice and as a result, quite nutty. The green tea and matcha take a back seat here. I do prefer a more balanced blend and it was too heavy on the genmai for my particular liking. The base tea is good quality but the overall flavour profile was not something I will be hoping to drink again. Certainly not offensive and I was able to finish the cup, but I prefer a standard grocery store genmai to this.
