I am thinking of ordering some from one of the tea companies that I tend to like.<br /><br />=) I really do like genmaicha. I love teas and blends that have a toasty quality to them.Alex Zorachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335878680429494039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-35336559832490816582010-10-30T04:37:28.408-07:002010-10-30T04:37:28.408-07:00Thanks for the review.

Its flavor and aroma are two of my favorite things in the tea world- it is just such a comforting tea. <br />I read once that children in Japan drink a "tea" made of just the toasted rice as their first "tea". :-)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128827813593311706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436268.post-76007332144116653802010-10-27T15:16:01.244-07:002010-10-27T15:16:01.244-07:00I agree with Marilyn that for a lot of people, the...I agree with Marilyn that for a lot of people, the popped rice makes the green tea more palatable.
