Rich and comforting
I bought this for my husband, who loves green tea, and he absolutely adores it. The toasted rice adds a wonderful depth and warmth to the classic green tea flavor. It's become his evening wind-down drink.

About this item
This tea is a simple combination of Sencha tea grown in Kyoto, Japan and toasted brown rice. The humble origins of this tea blend comes from post WWII Japan where toasted rice was added to "stretch" a tea during uncertain and difficult times. Over time, it has grown into a popular staple in the tea world served both hot and chilled. Its distinct mildness with nutty and toasted character is refreshing and balanced.

★☆☆☆☆
Disappointing flavor
I was really looking forward to this, but the flavor is incredibly bland. I barely taste any of the promised nutty or toasted character. It just tastes like weak green tea, even after steeping for longer than recommended.
★★★★★
Authentic and delicious
This tea has an authentic Japanese flavor, especially the toasted rice notes.
★★★☆☆
Good, but not great
This tea is fine for a quick cup, but the toasted rice flavor doesn't come through as strongly as I'd hoped. It's a decent genmaicha, though I've had others with more robust character. Maybe I'm steeping it incorrectly.
★★★★★
Smooth and flavorful
A truly enjoyable green tea with a lovely toasted rice character.
