it has that yummy toasted flavor of brown rice with a delicate green tea taste…or maybe too delicate?
i cant taste it anymore after taking a bite of chocolate :(

i left my teabag steeping for way too long and it never got bitter, lol. good or bad? hahaha

the rice in genmai helps in both stretching the sencha, and also reducing/eliminating the bittering. (was originally a way to extend sencha among those who could not afford pure sencha/as much of it)
