Backlog…
I had this tea last night along with Samovar’s Japanese tea service. That included brown rice, tempeh, beets, seaweed salad and kale with a cup of butternut squash soup. This is a bit reminiscent of Den’s Super Green genmaicha because the color is just such a bright vivid green. Definitely has a kelpy/savory flavor with the warm flavor of toasted rice. That seaweedy flavor does not bother me, but I love japanese green teas. It went great with my food too. I could see wanting to have some of this around to make tea soup with or just to have I thought about buying some of this but I have a few genmaichas already that I should focus on drinking first. So much tea, so little time.
I have no idea how they prepared this so I’m just guessing… Their nishi sencha 1st flush is definitely worth checking out too.
That sounds like a delicious meal! I need to get over there again soon. :)
Let me know if you’d like some company! :)
Ooh! Maybe we could meet up for lunch sometime. I work near there. PM me if you’re interested. :)
