Second tea of the day. My first genmaicha experience. I actually enjoyed the taste of rice in tea. Probably because I love rice and I grew up eating rice with everything. It does have a slight ‘burnt’ or toasted rice taste which I actually love, but hubby is not crazy about it. Toasted rice, buttery popcorn, nutty and chocolatey. This drink definitely made me want to explore genmaicha more.
