Genmai Cha

So today Mieko gave me a bag of Genmai Cha. Her mother sent it from japan. Aparently she lives in or near Shizuoka, which is considered to be Japan's premier tea region. I have enjoyed Genmai Cha before but this bag is exceptionaly good. It brews up a brilliant green with the warm aroma of roasted rice. The flavour is lightly vegetal and very subtle. Delicious. I can't read a word on the bag but perhaps I will sit down to try and translate some.
