[EN] Amazing, beautiful sweet grassy flavor, I took notes of cream, milk, seaweed, cut grass, umami, spinach, among other things. its beautiful and I can see myself going through 100g in the next couple of weeks.
[EN] I love this tea especially when I was not feeling well somehow felt kind of peace and energy in my body and mind.
[EN] This tea is amazing! To describe it i have to say that it has a nice rich soothing flavor. A beautiful smoothness and depth that my previous experience with other genmaicha are blown away.
10/10 recommend this to any one willing to try.
[EN] My favourite genmaicha of all the ones I've tried. Great balance between toasty and vegetal.
[EN] One of the best Genmaicha I have tried and there were many.
The only Genmaicha that I liked as much as this one, although quite different, was Clearspring organic.
My brewing receipt:
1 heaped table spoon, 78°C, 2min in a double-walled glass.
[EN] I tried this when I was not well. It felt soothing and relaxing and had a lightness and freshness to it. I reduce the brown rice as I find that flavour too strong, easily, by jjust overflowing the cup or pot. They float quickly and tumble out.
Sometimes add grated ginger and a bit of honey. ❤️
[EN] I really like the Supreme version, so I thought the pricier Imperial Gyokuro Genmaicha would be even better. However, I encountered bitterness and a lack of noticeable rice aroma/flavor as compared to the Supreme version. The bitterness turned me off.
[EN] Aroma is delicate and blossoming, lightly floral and toasty. Bitterness is nicely restrained. But flavor is very spinach and lawn clippings.
