Genmaicha is an uniquely distinctive and delicious tea, due to the fact that it is made using perfectly roasted grains of brown rice, which often expand and pop during roasting. This surprisingly tasty recipe actually originated with the poor citizens of Japan as a clever way to extend the household tea supply until the following spring. This invention quickly became a smashing success. Roasting the rice transforms the grains into tiny, crunchy parcels of sweetness, that then infuse harmonically with the sylvan tones of the green tea to create mouth-watering undertones that hint at hazelnuts and burnt caramel.
Ingredients: Green Tea, Roasted Rice, Puffed Rice

Sipdown!! (153)
Thank you Roswell Strange for sending this my way to aid in my adventure to try all the genmaichas. This one is good but not particularly a blend that stands out. There is nothing unique about it. It is fairly balanced between the vegetal base and the toasty rice, though at times the grass notes are more prominent. Nothing special but still very pleasant so thanks again, Roswell Strange :)
Sipdown (179/181)!
Well, sort of a sipdown. I made a cup for myself to help settle my stomach after gorging on supper (it was the first home cooked meal I’d had since the Grand Opening of the new store last week – and man did I take advantage of that), and then I tossed the rest of the sample into VariaTEA’s growing swap package!
I know she, too, wants to try as much Genmaicha as she can – so I figured I’d share since RiverTea samples are so generous anyway.
This is good, though! I mean, there’s nothing shockingly special about it, but it’s still good. I think this cup is leaning a bit more to the vegetal side, and personally I like my Genmaicha to lean towards the toasty rice, so I wouldn’t order this in any quantity – but it’s still enjoyable.
