Got back late last night from my trip to Michigan where I sadly had hardly any tea. So what better way to get back into the swing of things than to drink my favorite tea.
Oh…and some good news…I’m engaged!!
Been knocked out with a migraine all day and didn’t have the energy to make any tea but this only takes 30 seconds to brew so it was full of win right now. After drinking a cup I feel warm, comforted, and positive the headache will be gone soon. Positive thinking works, right?
Preparation
I have had a box of this at my work tea station for a while and just drank the last bag. I almost shed a tear or two. Were it not for the 20 students in the room I might have let myself mourn properly. The tear shedding urge was twofold:
1. I am out of my favorite tea at work (thankfully I have a bag of the loose leaf version at home).
2. I forgot to pick up a new box this weekend when I went tea shopping at the International Food Market. I knew I needed a new box and was one of the reasons I went. I got side tracked by all the other teas and forgot to restock this. Much sadness on my part.
Preparation
I have a thing for Genmaicha. And this one is the closest to perfection I have found. The added matcha just takes this to the next level. This is savory, nutty, sweet, comforting, relaxing, tasty, and wonderful. It does not taste bitter or burnt. I honestly could never get tired of drinking this. It is always what I need right at the moment I drink it.
Preparation
Went to the International Market here in town and they had this in a pyramid tea bag!! I nearly jumped for joy. Am now enjoying this at work and loving it.
Have you had any other Genmaicha’s that weren’t in a pyramid bag? If so how does this one compare?
I have had several Genmaicha’s in loose leaf form (including this one) and I’m actually quite impressed at the depth of flavor that comes from the Den’s pyramid bag. Almost wouldn’t know it was from a bag. Though for some odd reason I taste more of a sushi/seaweed flavor from the tea bag than the loose leaf.
