Here goes sample 2 out of 19! (can you tell I’m excited?). This one smells really strong and roast-y. While it was brewing, I smelled popcorn, nuts, barley, and, of course, green tea. After 2 minutes, it’s a dark-ish amber color. In taste, it reminds me a lot of the genmaicha tea bags I tried earlier. The smell also reminds me of dried seaweed chips. I appreciate the novelty (for me) of the barley/roasted nuts flavor and smell, but overall, this one’s not my favorite. It’s probably also the reason I don’t like stouts and other heavy beers. Very happy I got to try it, though!
