A mellow morning cup of genmaicha provided by ashmanra, thank you! It was noted on the paper tag inside the bag that this was either from Tea ’N Joy or Tea Queens.
ashmanra sent some tasty Blackberry Jasmine green tea in a swap that had a very strong syrupy aroma. Its aroma penetrated through the bag and into the genmaicha bag, so it was almost like having a surprise second steeping of the Blackberry Jasmine with a hint of toasty rice :)

Ooh! Cross-contaminated that worked! I once had a genmaicha sample that I believe was contaminated by a vanilla tea. It was amazing.
Oh no! Shame on me for poor packaging. Hooray for a good cross contamination!
Yeah, I was totally ok with it. Makes me wonder what the worst flavor combination teas there are out there are.
Once Todd and I decided to sample the water out of the “discarded leaf” bowl from a tea flight we had at the Chinese Gardens in Portland, which has a tea shop serving Tao of Tea teas inside. It looked like a nasty tea leaf soup… and even that didn’t taste that bad, given they were three very different tea blends, and some of the leaves had been sitting in there for nearly an hour.
