Genmai Cha Customer Reviews

Nice taste change in green tea. The rice gives an additional flavor level.

This tea was good but I wasn't expecting such a smokey flavor. I had it by itself. I think it would be better with a meal.

This is good, but not my favorite of the green teas. I do enjoy it because it reminds me of my trip to Japan (that was quite some time ago). With the toasted rice it's nice for a change of pace. I think it has kind of a salty aftertaste.

This is an odd combination, but really good. It's one I make sure not to run out of!

A very hardy tea. I drink this all day long and never get sick of it.

I love this tea. The popped rice adds a nice heartiness to the tea.

A tea rich in flavor, and absolutely delicious!

toasty - like a warm sweater on a cold day

I didn't really see much in this tea, not much flavor, but I'm new to tea

Full of flavor, no bitterness. The rice and popcorn add to the complexity but don't steal the flavor. My favorite!

This one looked so funny that I had to try it, and it ended up being excellent. Be warned the flavor of the rice is at odds with the tea here - there is not much subtle about the flavor. But if you are looking for interesting...

I buy this by the pound because everyone wants to try it. It smells amazing and tastes great. Seems easier on my stomach than straight green tea.

Try this Tea!

I love this tea! This is a nice mellow tea that helps me unwind every night before bed. I think it is super and would recomend it to anyone that wants to find a really smooth green tea.

This one is different and fun! Sweet and nutty and roasted at the same time, goes great with meals or desserts. Thirst quenching.

this was great and filling, almost buttery and rich tasting, with the green tea, i was unsure at first while infusing it, but was convinced i loved it after the first sip, made me reorder more than just a sample!

I've always enjoyed genmai cha, but the addition of popcorn is a delightful touch! This concoction is incredibly flavorful -- and it even tastes nutritious, almost like a broth. Very warming on a chilly day.

I took the advice of other reviewers and was not disappointed! Definitely the most interesting cup of tea I've ever tasted. As another person stated, it's great nibbled right out of the tin!

This tea has a delicious nutty flavour. I tried making a cup with the leaves loose in the bottom, fully expecting to have popcorn floating around on top, but it all stayed in the bottom of the cup...

This has an amazing nutty flavor. The toasted rice really goes well with delicate green tea.

This tea exceeded my expectations... a perfect blend of popcorn, fried rice, and green leaves... you may become addicted to this.

I like this one but I am a little tired of it.

After tasting this in the sampler, I immediately ordered the largest size! I love th soothing, nutty flavor of this tea. Very satisfying.

It might seem strange to have popped corn and rice in your tea, but it really works well. The flavour of the rice and corn mostly comes out as a delicate aftertaste. Very unique and all of my friends who have "dared" to try it loved it.

Unusual but tasty. Broth like.

I tried this tea because I remembered having it as a child. It was just as good as I remembered.

I love this tea -- it has become a vital part of my day. It's a good, hearty green tea with a nutty flavor. Yum!

I really like this tea. Although it's not my favorite, it is my second choice. I like the sort of light kind of nutty, popcorny flavor. Just enough to add a little something, but not be so strong as to be over powering.

Hands down, this is THE VERY BEST green tea I have EVER tasted--and I am picky when it comes to green tea. I LOVE the brown rice and popcorn--it is fun and delicious, with a great nutty flavor that makes this tea a fabulous snack all by itself. It's like drinking a cup of freshly-popped corn! I even eat the tea leaves and the rice kernels and popcorn, it is that yummy. A super afternoon pick-me-up, but also excellent with meals.

My favorite Green tea. I drink it almost everyday!!! I love the taste of the corn integrated with the green leaves.

Glad I tried this green tea. I will be ordering this again.

I have had Genmai before, but usually only with popped rice. This included popped corn as well, which added a richer flavour to the tea. I enjoyed it quite a lot - but if you're a traditionalist, the popped corn does not stay 100% true to form. Still, overall, a wonderful green Genmai tea.

Warm and roasty-toasty. Comforting, and good with food.

If you are looking for something exotic this is the way to go.

Love this tea! Very unusual flavor. The "nutty" flavor of the popped rice and corn is a terrific compliment to the sweetness of the green tea.

This tea is so different. I prefer salty to sweet foods, and this tea definitely suits that taste. When I get hungry for a snack, I have a cup of this. It's like a meal in a cup!

I subtle and rich cup of tea.

This tea makes a wonderful dinner tea with asian food.

No need to be wary or skeptical of this stuff. Yes, it has grain in in, but wow! What a flavor. Pleasant and grassy, with this wonderful nuttiness. And because of the grains, it is lower caffeine, making it a superb bed-time beverage. Quite soothing as well.

Not sure if the is the Cenmai Cha Pop. with the rice and popcorn in it. If it is, then I was less than thrilled with that one.

Fantastic! All I needed was a good movie to complete the effect.

A pleasure to make -- especially for an audience unfamiliar with this tea's blend with rice -- and a pleasure to drink, with a lovely round rice flavor.

Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! My former boss turned me on to this one and I fell hook, line and sinker. One of the best greens I've tasted and the toasty flavor is just robust enough. A great tea to have if you don't have the time for a meal.

This is a wonderful tasting green tea. I would recomend this tea to everyone.

Delicious. Definitely my favorite tea!

I love this tea!!! It has a great flavor and mild caffine. This tea is GREAT iced!!

Popcorn! This tea made me hungry for popcorn. It had a nutty grain taste that was unusal for a tea. The popped kernals made cleaning a little difficult.

Great change of pace tea to have with dinner, or whenever the mood strikes me

Love the little popped pieces of rice and corn, which give this tea an especially intriguing aroma and flavor. I get several cups out of one teaspoon, steeping it in 180 degree water several times. I get though the afternoon at work this way.

I found the warm roasted flavor of this tea very appealing.
