Genmaicha
Green tea, roasted rice.

I picked up a looseleaf bag of this from an H Mart.
Kati cup, 1 tbsp of tea, 10oz of 212 F water, steep for 2 minutes.
Medium yellow with a tinge green, almost a mustard color. Surprising amount of gradation for a light tea.
Toasted rice, this one is definitely straightforward 😁
Greeted with a pretty standard green tea flavor, but the aftertaste is all nuttiness from the rice. Surprisingly a little weak given the rather large amount of tea brewed.
Nuttiness intensifies!
