Kawaii433 drank Genmaicha Herbal Tea by Teavivre

379 tasting notes

Additional note:
Really been on a genmaicha kick lately. This is one of my favorites. Perhaps because it has a lot more rice than the normal genmaicha, no bitterness no matter how I prepare it. I can make it with boiling water for however long I want to make it. So it is great for those ultra-busy days that I don’t need a timer, and want to sip a good tea. I haven’t made it grandpa style per se but it’s probably really good that way too. It’s a really versatile and flexible genmaicha. There is a slight umami note, lots of toasted rice/barley, and popcorn notes.

Flavors: Popcorn, Rice, Roasted, Toasted Rice, Umami

Preparation

Boiling 5 min, 0 sec 6 g 5 OZ / 140 ML

Bio

Longtime casual tea drinker. In the past, mainly Matcha, Gyokuro, Sencha, Genmaicha… Etc. I like all teas: Green, oolong, black & pu’erh (prefer ripe over raw).

Chanoyu (for matcha prep) and Gongfu cha (for other types of tea) are the main ways I prepare my tea (Gaiwan, Yixing teapot, Kyusu). I drink all tea… Usually unflavored. This past year, I’ve tried many flavored now because of all of you lol. As long as there aren’t artificial sweeteners, it’s all good.

Favorite stores: TeaVivre, What-Cha, Mandala Tea, 52Teas, Whispering Pines, Bird & Blend, Yunnan sourcing, White2Tea, Lupicia.

The flavors I dislike: Artificial sweetener, lavender, violet, any strong floral-perfumey tea; cantaloupe, papaya, honeydew, rose, licorice, anise, jasmine, any mints, leather.

Favorite flavors: Citrus fruits (especially grapefruit & tangerines), granny smith apple, bananas, guava, mango, tamarind, watermelon, stonefruits, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, milk, cinnamon, creme, bread/pastry, nuts, toasted, roasted.

I generally don’t add anything to my teas unless they are flavored, then I may add a splash of milk.

As I explore, my ratings may shift. 90+ generally means I’ll keep it on my shelf.
