| Toasty tea | January 30, 2013 | |
| I just purchased this tea for the first time. This tea almost has a hint of a popcorn taste to it because of the rice. The green tea is a little on the bitter side but adding a little honey brightens it up. Overall it's a lighter tea and very good to sip on during a cold day. |
| My only green tea | January 26, 2013 | |
| I'm a die-hard black tea drinker, and normally don't give much thought to green tea. Even very expensive green tea tastes odd and grassy to me. (I know, it's supposed to - just not my thing.) But this is a notable exception. I've ordered this several times over the years. It's sweet and nutty, needs nothing added to it, good to the last drop. |
| Nice tea, pretty earthy | December 12, 2012 | |
| This tea is nice but not the best green tea + toasted rice one that I have tasted. The green tea itself tastes very earthy...not bad, just different. It is still good and a delicious tasting cup of green tea! |

| My favorite tea! Hard to get through a day without a cup either hot or cold. |
| A fine tea indeed | November 13, 2012 | |
| This one is my favorite by far! |
| Tea of Inquiry | October 28, 2012 | |
| I have had this tea before and was recently told to try cooking rice in this tea or some other tea that I like, that it is amazing. Now I am curious about using tea in other cooking, maybe braising chicken? Using it as a soup base? |
| pricey genmaicha | August 05, 2012 | |
| genmaicha traditionally is a cheaper tea... i'm not sure if my mix was a bit off but it tasted primarily of toasted rice, but not the super golden crisp flavor i'm used to. i think i'll mix this with a cheaper green to get the proportions right. it's great, but not what i'm accustomed to. |
| Classic | June 27, 2012 | |
| I have been drinking this tea for years! There is something so comforting about it. I enjoy it in the late afternoon when I'm starting to feel sleepy, and I begin to think about a snack. I always feel refreshed and alert after I drink a cup. I do think the rice flavor can help to satisfy hunger, but I also think this tea is great after a meal for digestion. I think this tea and Spring Cherry Green are probably both good introductions to green tea. Also, the price is very good. |
| This tea has a very grassy/ earthy taste | May 29, 2012 | |
| I did not like this tea because it has a grassy/ earthy taste. Good quality, I just don't prefer this taste in a tea. |
| My New Favorite | February 13, 2012 | |
| I love the full bodied, earthy taste of toasty rice and a hearty green tea. I just received my 50 cup tin three days ago and it is three quarters empty. The best tea I have ever tasted. |
| YUM | February 03, 2012 | |
| Excellent tea. Exactly the flavor I was hoping for - strong vegetal and rice. This is my absolute favorite tea. It tastes exceptionally wonderful made in Yixing tea ware. |
| At last, a green tea I like! | January 24, 2012 | |
| I'd been wanting to try this for a long time, but was a bit leery since I normally can't stand the taste of green teas. This was wonderful...reminded me of rice crackers with nori. |
| Hearty | December 12, 2011 | |
| A great tea for winter or to tide you over between meals. The green tea is balanced by the warm, toasted taste of the rice. |
| Green Tea with Toasted Rice | December 10, 2011 | |
| This tea is absolutely my favorite. I drink it hot or iced, either way the toasted rice adds a nice nutty flavor to the green tea! Delicious! |
| Wonderful! | August 10, 2011 | |
| I absolutely love this tea, the fire-toasted rice adds a wonderful flavor to the smoothness of this green tea. It is a wonderful treat at the beginning or end of any day. I usually add a small amount of honey and it is so good. I would recommend this tea to anyone! |
| Savory and nutty | July 27, 2011 | |
| I love the nutty savory texture/taste of this tea. Good to drink when you are hungry and don't have a snack nearby! |
