STeaP: The Tea Vodcast

STeaP #43: Doing the Cha Cha Again

Today we’re rocking the genmai cha a second time, with Upton’s Gen-Mai Cha (3 minutes, 180º) and Choice Organic Genmaicha (3 minutes, 180º). Joe and Brandice each enjoyed one more than the other, but as usually, disagreed on which one. You can see which one might be a cha-cha-liscious option for you by watching the episode.

    I believe it's pronounced G as in Good Gen (some people say Jen,) Mai as in My (not may,) Cha as in Chah.

    I have found that the ones that I've tasted have tasted extremely toasty, which totally overpowers the green tea flavor instead of having a good synergy. They make for great bedtime teas due to that heavy toasty savory flavor.

    I will have to try the choice brand as I've never had one where the rice and popcorn didn't overpower everything else. The way you describe it as more mild is a 'must try.'

    Another great entertaining and informative episode.. thanks!
