Genmaicha was the tea that got Hubby into tea, so I’ll always have a huge soft spot for it. And it’s hard to go wrong with such a staple tea.
This is one of my favorites, though.
The matcha adds such a wonderful sweetness to what was already a roasty toasty cup of comfort, that it becomes something you can just fall happily into. I like the balance of this cup too, with the matcha just edging out the nuttiness of the rice as the dominant flavor.Preparation

I quite like this one. I’m not big on genmaicha with matcha (I prefer mine normal), but this one just does something for me.

I think the matcha is somewhat sweeter in this one than in Lupicia, H&S or American Tea Room (the only other few I can remember trying). It just feels less aggressive and more zen (or at least more like normal genmaicha feels to me).
