"This is a very good choice for Gen mai cha! It has a smooth nutty vegetal taste and a toasty aroma both before and after brewing. I have tasted many Gen mai cha's before and I must say this is the PERFECT balance of flavors made from quality ingredients. If you have been disappointed in Genmaichas before, you should try this one."

"Love the cute little popped rice. Even better is the flavor. Very similar to the brown rice tea served at our favorite Japanese restaurant. Don't go over 2 minute steeping though. Can get bitter." Tea drinkin'' Hokie

"Yum! I had gotten this tea from another company many years ago and finally found it here. This flavor could be a surprise to the average green tea drinker, but it is well worth trying. It is slightly vegetal, but overall it is nutty with wheat/wood notes." Christina Amato

"What a fun tea! The puffed rice really shines through and dominates the aroma. Higher temp steeps results in a fairly bitter tea. In my batch, the leaves were extremely broken, to the point I wondered if this were a matcha-ira gen-mai cha due to fines." Dan McLaughlin

"This style is not for everyone. The tea is mixed with toasted rice, and some of it comes popped like popcorn. I like it, and appreciate the mix of grains and green tea in the flavor. It can be a little bitter, so try not to use too much or oversteep." Christina Finegan

"This was my first time tasting Gen-mai Cha. After reading the reviews, I decided to just "go for it" & by a whole packet. I'm so glad I did! It's savory & comforting to drink. Nut,wheat & green flavors come through. Great w/ sushi!" Dave Griffis

"I like this tea in the evening. Due to the rice component I don't even worry about the amount of caffeine in it. This has a nice toasty flavor. It is good for a relaxing change of pace, although it won't be of much help in waking you up in the morning." Keith P. Knuuti

"I developing a taste for genmai-cha when I lived in Japan, but had a hard time finding it in the U.S. This one is quite nice -- it retains the green tea flavor, but adds a nice nuttiness." A tea drinker
