I have not had a lot of genmaicha teas. The first one I tried was from a purchase, from probably one of those generic german blenders. I thought it quite strange at first and downgraded it for gardening tea, tea I have while doing some (lazy gardening) on winter weekend mornings (when it´s not raining or TOO dreary. lazy…). And somehow it really worked for that purpose, the toastiness and the green energy, I have been quite fond of it. I was very curious about what a better version of genmaicha would be like, and Ysaurella was kind enough to send me some.
And this is probably going on my shopping list. It really is a different, much more refined, hints of floral genmaicha than the one I had before. Really lovely, I am converted. Though I am also wondering about Lupicia´s genmaicha teas….

I started a comment about how I found the green tea from MF surprisingly weak, then realised that your log is about genmaicha. Then realised I don’t actually know what green tea my partner got — to him, if the tea is green in colour, then it’s ‘green tea’. It’s MF — and that’s all I know!
Anyways, drink and garden on!
Green teas from MF, ah, it can be all kinds of different. Some of the flavoured ones are really light (I just got yuzu temple and I am sure I am brewing it wrong somehow), but a few are not weak – Fuji-yama maybe as an example.
