Was hit with the aroma of toasted rice the instant the water hit the tea leaves. Wow, genmaicha really is unique. The flavor definitely reminds me of rice cakes, earthy and nutty with just a hint of sweetness. There are a lot of mineral flavors in this too. The little card that came with the tea said this would pair well with Japanese cuisine, and I believe it. It’s quite robust for a green tea.
