Kawaii433 drank Genmaicha Green Tea Bag by Teavivre

351 tasting notes

Nice afternoon genmaicha. It has only two ingredients: Brown rice & a good sencha base. The teabag is 3g and I got it as a free sample. It’s a very toasty, roasty cup of tea with nice toasted rice and seaweed-marine aroma but not fishy. The liquor was golden yellow with green hues. It was a tasty genmaicha with no bitterness or astringency, delicately sweet but nothing artificial. I just had a genmaicha at a restaurant the other day, and it was far too sweet. Ick. Not this one, thank goodness. It’s a simple, straightforward, yummy sencha genmaicha.

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Sencha, Matcha. I’m currently into Oolong, Black & Pu’erh.

Gongfu cha is the main way I prepare my tea (gaiwan or Yixing teapot). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. I do try some flavored now. I don’t like artificial sweeteners.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia. (Note: I love the teaware from TeaVivre and Yunnan sourcing.) Good experiences with 52Teas, Harney & Sons, Whispering Pines

Flavors I dislike are artificial flavors, especially artificial sweeteners. Strong lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, ripe papaya, sweet honeydew.

Can handle a little of the following: Rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, mint, spearmint, peppermint, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, all fruits except cantaloupe, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
