This is a very unusual green tea. The fragrance is a cross between raisins, figs and dates and a little cereal.
This brewed to a champagne color. The flavor was close to a genmaicha with a full body and a bit of a cereal taste, but was much lighter and sweeter. The difference between toasted rice and sesame seeds is obvious. I didn’t really pick up any caramel in the flavor, but in a green tea, that would actually be my preference.

“The fragrance is a cross between raisins, figs and dates and a little cereal.”… Raisin Bran! lol
Too funny! I wonder how Raisin Bran translates in Japanese?
…I better not say that too loud or that’ll be the next 52 teas blend LOL
