I love Genmaicha, and it’s a tea that I’ll choose often when we visit the tea garden. I rarely brew it at home though, because it’s hard to replicate that delicate nutty flavor.
As for the DavidsTea variety, I enjoyed it, but it seemed like it had too much roasted rice in it compared to other Genmaichas I’ve had. The roasted rice flavor overpowered the green tea, when normally it complements it quite well. Still, I’m a fan of Genmaicha and this is highly drinkable.
