I’m normally very pleased with Ching Ching Cha’s teas and have learned to acclimate my demanding American tongue to the generally mild flavors they offer, but this tea is weak in scent, weak in flavor, and doesn’t even have the classy attractive look of most genmaicha due to the leaves being far too small and way too much “tea dirt” in the bottom of the bag. Pass.

This is the joint account of Cash and Chris, two American University seniors and roommates with a love of tea and a shared collection that makes two separate accounts pretty pointless. Each tasting note is signed by which one of us wrote it.
In our photo, Chris is on the left in the plaid and Cash on the right in the poncho.
Cash is studying psychology and works at the Apple Store. He enjoys drumming, overanalyzing, and hoarding.
Chris is studying criminal justice and works for the EPA. He enjoys being terrible.
Send us a message if you’d like to do a tea trade, we’re always down to try new varieties!
Cash: I am on an epic quest to acquire some of 52teas’ Marshmallow Treat Genmaicha. It sounds like literally the perfect tea to me, and I will trade ANYTHING in my cupboard for it. Seriously. Send me a message if you’ve got some to spare.
