Best moment of the day: Breakfast - Lunch
Japanese tea is traditionally offered with Japanese sweets. They also pair very well with all sorts of meals, either for breakfast, lunch, breaks, or even dinner (for the lower-caffeine tea).
During his years of serving tea to his dear customers, Mohei's knowledge of the flavors and characteristics of his teas allows him to share the wonders of an exceptional green tea served with the right food. When paired well, Japanese tea can unlock further benefits such as better digestion, better diet, or enhanced sensation of satiety

Very tastes and toasty

This is not a bitter tea; it has a more malty flavor and may be great for anyone that is not so find of the grassy and/or bitter components of green tea. There is a slight parallel with rooibos tea in that both have a decidedly "soft" mouth feel as well, but I would say that Genmaicha has a much deeper and more interesting flavor profile than plain rooibos. I definitely recommend to give this one a try.
You are totally right; this tea is excellent to get introduced to Japanese green tea without diving too deep into bitterness and green flavors. Your comparison with Rooibos is also very interesting! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on our Genmaicha Hirusagari and describe your experience drinking it.

I'm a simple woman - if I see a genmaicha, I buy and drink a genmaicha.
And as a genmaicha enjoyer, I can say without any hesitation that this is one of the best tasting teas I have ever had. The flavors smoothly blend together, the fragrance is amazing, and the steeping process is very forgiving with my substitute tea tools and beginner tea knowledge.
I'm honestly considering making this seller my go-to for genmaicha going forward, it's that good.
