This is an interesting tea that I probably would never have tried on my own, but am happy to have had stumble into my path.
I remember having genmaicha over a year ago and enjoying it, but not enough to drink it over my favourite black teas. I don’t know what it is about this one that makes it different, but I really enjoyed this one. The soft buttery notes and the strong toastiness are such a great combo. I immediately re-steeped this after I drank it, and then gave 1/3 of that cup to my demanding daughter who walked around with it in her bottle for a bit before she drank it all.
I’ll have to check out Sara’s Tea Caddie in the spring once I feel even more like drinking green teas!

Nina’s Japon is a really tasty genmaicha because it is a vanilla, caramel genmaicha and it is both a green and black base. I can send you some if you would like to try it. I also liked Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha because the marshmallow adds a nice sweetness to make the flavor more rounded. I can send you some of that as well :)
Oooh, thanks for the offer, but I think I’m ok. I’ve actually had both of those. I do remember liking Nina’s Japon. Thanks for reminding me it’s out there!
And I did like the Marshmallow Genmaicha sample, but the last time I ordered flavoured Genmaicha from 52 Teas it was lacking somehow and not worth the price of shipping etc. :\ I’m nervous about trying again.
IDK what it was with this but this Genmai Hojicha, but it was good. And so simple too. Although I wouldn’t say no to some vanilla and caramel…
haha I have actually been craving the Nina’s Japon since I had it. Luckily I bought a large tin of it so I have lots for me and enough to share. Perhaps I will have some tomorrow now that my taste has seemingly returned :)
Yay for being able to enjoy your tea! And dud you order it from Amazon?
I actually got to go to their office in Miami. They made me a cup there and I ended up buying a large tin from them directly. They also made me a cup of The de Vendome and I bought a tin of that too.
That’s right! I remember Siemens idea that, but…umm…. forgot who. :p That’s so awesome!
Hopefully I will be able to visit again the next time I am in Florida. It was nice meeting them all and I would love to just go and pick up the teas I liked from them directly. So much easier than having to order online.
