Tea of Inquiry (Loose) from Republic of Tea
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5

For a genmaicha (which I enjoy in spring/summer) I really love this one - probably my favorite roasted-toasted brown-rice note-filled tea. Even good over ice - and unsweetened for a true grain-filled experience. I actually love this one - but if you are not a Genmaicha lover - you may not want to try this one. More ...

Brown Rice Tea Genmai-cha (16 ct.) from Yamamotoyama
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5

Super cheap and - if you can get it (try H-Mart or other Asian grocers) it's a good bagged Genmaicha option. Refreshing in summer with a roasty-toasty aroma. Grassy notes - and also a sweetness (I do not get a "Honey Smacks" note).
Can even be OK over ice.

Roasty-Toasty but not worth the price - there are better (and also worse - see my other Gen Mai Cha reviews) versions available. If you are a Gen mai lover (Roasted rice/grain notes) this is a decent choice but no holy grail. Very nice in summer.

Genmaicha from ITO EN
Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????60 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5

The genmaicha is relatively grassy tasting with a bit of bitterness - but is still pleasant enough and certainly cheap enough to enjoy regularly. Good but not a holy grail.
