I received this sample today (thank you Laurent!) I had heard so much about it that obviously it was the first one I wanted to try.
It’s really quite a nice cup of tea. I am so accustomed to black teas that sometimes I have to remind myself to appreciate the more mild teas, like this blend. I am starting to really love genmaicha. It adds such an interesting level of flavor that is different than anything else. It’s hard for me to pick out individual flavors in this, probably because it is such a balanced blend. I get a bit of honey, some vanilla, some caramel notes.
I would love to know the caffeine content of it, I could see this being a new favorite late evening tea for me.
