I enjoyed the other popcorn tea from B&B, so I was curious as to how this would be different. Hmm I’d say this one is a lot less like popcorn. Basically it’s just green tea with some vague sweetness, maybe some saltiness, maybe a bit of popped rice. The green tea base is all right. I think they should have gone harder with the genmaicha vibe with lots more popped rice and added a bit of flavoring and salt to that. Since they held back too much, the vision doesn’t come through clearly enough. I do enjoy the lightly sweet, slightly savory green tea flavor, and I’m sure I could finish the bag if it were caffeine-free, but I’ll probably save enough for a couple cups and pass the rest along.

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
