lolainred drank Genmaicha by Whispering Pines Tea Company

127 tasting notes

I am quite enjoying this cup this morning. My second go at genmaicha and I like this one much better. Probably because it’s much much more subtle than the last. The toasty flavor is in the background behind the green tea, but its most certainly there. Adds to the warm comforting quality of this tea. The base green tea is very nice, smooth, and not at all bitter. This seems to be a good starting point for genmaicha. I wasn’t crazy about the in your face buttered popcorn flavor of the last one I tried. This is more what I was hoping for in a genmaicha, a subtle roasted flavor. This one is a winner for me.

3/4 tsp in 12oz water.

The first time I tried loose leaf tea at home, I was hooked. I’ve been drinking tea for years now, though I still feel like such a newbie in the world of teas. There are so many things I’ve never tried from so many new to me companies!

I used to be very much a black tea drinker, but have started, in the last year, to realize that I prefer the lightness of greens and whites much more.

That said, I will basically try any tea once (probably twice, just in case)!

My review categories:
100-94: I never want to run out of these!
93-80: Restock please!
79-60: Definitely like, but not a must have
59-50: Not lovin’ it, but I’d drink it again
49 & below: nope, Nope, NOPE.
