teaqueen drank Matcha iri Genmaicha by Harney & Sons

681 tasting notes

One of the best and most comforting teas out there.
Bready mouthfeel, hardy base that can withstand workplace inattentiveness without becoming vegetal and bitter tasting. Got two cups out of this sachet.
Much- needed today, as the polar vortex business continues. Luckily, I am further away from the places that are seeing negative 28 degree F temps, but it is still dangerously cold where I am as well.
To all my friends in the North American midwest today— I am sending you all kinds of warm thoughts and happy vibes. Stay safe and indoors!

Flavors: Baked Bread, Earth, Rice, Thick, Toasty

Bio

Hello! 28, female, American. A total hopeless bookworm— I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in English. I also love dogs, all things that are colored purple, and sarcasm. I work in the Information Technology field at present.

I’m not a swapper, but I hope we can still be friends :)

Favorite tea types: Black, pu’erh, oolong, kombucha, genmaicha, matcha, rooibos, honeybush (recent change of heart there), and floral greens.

Favorite flavor notes: Roasted, fermented, earthy, floral, nutty, bread-y, umami; dessert-inspired flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and maple.

I’m very picky about chai and spice/ spicy blends as well as fruit-flavored teas; they really need to be done right, IMHO. I’m iffy about mate, as well as herbal teas, although there are a few tisanes that I enjoy (roasted dandelion root, chamomile).

Flat-out dislike: White tea, most unflavored green teas, hibiscus in high quantities, plain peppermint.

90-100: Perfection and heaven and magic, all in one cup.

70-89: Good.

50-69: Meh.
