Today we try the peasant tea, Genmai Cha. This green tea is unique in it’s use of popcorn and puffed rice. It’s not just for cereal anymore!

We also announce the Tea Showdown Giveaway. Does your tea have what it takes to survive a no holds barred tea tasting extravaganza?!

Really interesting tea that I tried a few days ago, called Pu-Erh, from Upton Teas. Very unique taste, and the tea leaves are (from what I’ve read) actually let to ferment/biodegrade before preparing. Unique tea to try!

Here’s some interesting info on pu-erh tea:
