Nous proposons plusieurs types de genmaicha. Ce genmaicha est un mélange de bancha vert et de gros grains de riz brun. Les canards dans les rizières d'où provient ce riz semblent adorer les grains, et nous pensons que vous adorerez ce mélange. Comme il s'agit d'un mélange de riz et de thé vert de fin de saison, la teneur en caféine est réduite.
I was skeptical about the duck angle, but the toasted brown rice kernels give it a rich, nutty depth that makes the bancha taste almost sweet. It’s become my afternoon go-to when I want something warm but not heavy.
I was a bit worried the bancha base might be too grassy, but it's surprisingly smooth with a nice roasted finish. The fat brown rice kernels really do hold up well over multiple steeps, which makes this bag last longer than I expected.
The fat brown rice kernels give it a really satisfying toasty chew that I don't usually find in other genmaichas. The bancha base keeps it smooth enough for a daily afternoon cup, though I wish the bag was resealable since it's a bit fiddly to close.
