This was the second tea I dug into from the samples given. They noted on paper, “Imagine this as an herbal Genmaicha.” I was eager to give it a go!
Look: The leaf isn’t as beautiful to look at, as the first tea. It was a lot of muted greens and yellow.
Aroma : The aroma of the material was lemon and citrusy notes. Once the tisane hits the water, you get immediate notes from the popped rice and the lemongrass (very aromatic/pleasing).
Taste: Imagine yourself indulging on sweet lemons while eating a bowl of jasmine rice (or maybe a really citrusy dish with rice). I prefer this to an actual Genmaicha, and that’s saying a lot.
Flavors: Citrus, Lemon, Rice, Sweet
That sounds really interesting!
It was definitely a unique tea!
