So Lupicia’s Hawaii online store is soon to open up. I hope they will sell this one.
Their mixture of Kirara and matcha is a tasty one. The little popped rice bits are bright green, dusted with matcha, along with the sencha leaves. It’s an interesting looking tea. Looks almost fluorescent. It smells of toasted rice (imagine that :P) and light sweetness, some grass. The liquor has a very toasty-roasty aroma. The wet leaves are bright green and you can see the little rice bits have all their green dust washed off and they are reddish brown. It’s medium-bodied, with a nice lingering naturally sweet rice finish. I didn’t find it bitter and there was no astringency, but yet it had the consistent and typical characteristics of a good warm cup of green tea. Recommended if you like kirara rice and matcha.
Flavors: Grass, Popcorn, Rice, Roasted, Sweet, Toasted Rice

This is a good one… I have a really really old harvest of this. haha. Poor tea.
tea-sipper, there is an expiration date that I’m trying to beat on this one (and some of their other greens)… I have a few Lupicia’s that I have till July. I’m afraid to ask you what “really old” is for you. haha :D
yeah… it’s probably best not to ask. :D
hehe tea-sipper :D
