Finally, someone who knows how to make Genmaicha the way I like it. I'd had Genmaicha about 10 years ago - it is green tea (plain) mixed with roasted, popped rice. The rice gives a roasted taste to the green tea. Anyway, every tea billed as "Genmaicha" that I'd tried since that first time just didn't taste right - they would add a flower or fruit flavoring that would ruin the whole thing. I just wanted plain green tea and popped rice - and that's it. Unfortunately, these guys don't have online ordering yet but I can phone in an order. http://www.oldflaspicetraders.com/teas/

"Kyoto green tea leaves are blended with popped and roasted rice, to make this a brothy infusion with a unique appeal."

Wonderful stuff. The rest of their offerings aren't bad either. We brought home a variety of tea and spices when we were there in November, and they're all very good.

Well right now Tuesdays and Thursdays work best for me, I work till really late the rest of the week and I have sundays off completely.

So Thursday would be awesome if you guys wanted to get together.

That sounds interesting... Tea Rocks :D And now, I'll stop posting meaningless and silly comments in my friends' journals...

I'm usually just very glad to get any comments whatsoever (as long as someone doesn't flame me)...

Tea

I'd never even heard of it nor even where to get some if one was so inclined to try it.

I hear of many things through rialian and friends... Someone gave him a box if it once. That was how we became aware of it.
