Genmaicha

Name:  Genmaicha


Brand: Panacea (The Bubble Tea Place)


Primary Type:  Green


Dry Scent:  This smells like fine green tea, grassy, and with a hint of the sea from a dried seaweed scent as well.  A little salty, a little roasty.


Steeping Time: 2-3 min


Steeped Flavour:  This is, of all "straight" green teas, my favourite.  There is a faint warm grassiness, of course, but it is mitigated by the popcorn flavour of the toasted rice.  This makes me think of my childhood and having puffed wheat for breakfast, and it's surprisingly comforting.  It's lovely in the summer, and lovely in the winter on a cold, snowy or rainy night.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This goes with anything and everything and also works well on its own.  Breakfast, lunch, dinner...anything goes with genmaicha!


Rating out of Six Tails:
6/6


Buy/Don't Buy

Keep in mind, this review is for the genmaicha from Panacea, I've also had David's Tea's genmaicha and would recommend it just as highly.
