Tealyra - Imperial Gyokuro Genmaicha - Japanese Loose Leaf Tea - Gen Mai Cha Green Tea with Brown Roasted Rice - Caffeine Level Low - 100g (3.5-ounce)

It’s a bit pricey, but really worth it. Love the aroma and taste.

This is really good tea. Nice balance of tea and roasted rice. I’ve been skip my more expensive tea for a nice pot of Tealyra - Imperial Gyokuro Genmaicha!

Love this brand but this flavor isn't my favorite. They don't have many options for green tea so I tried this one, and I'm disappointed that I didn't like it. Would love to see them add a new green tea blend with peach!

A nice Genmicha but with a shorter brew time cause it's made with Gyukura.Very enjoyable!!

I used to go to a Japanese tea shop. The rice tea I got there was really good, if different. This tastes like hay and smells like horse food. 1 out of ten. They got the one for getting it to me

I don't have much to compare to, being an avid tea bag drinker.... But after reading reviews I think this tea comes down to personal taste. I love green tea, but this just tastes authentic, if that makes sense. I think it's all in how you brew it. I did my first brew with water at a lower temp than boiling and steeped for under two minutes. It was very green tasting, but far from bitter, and did have a nutty flavor to it due to the genmaicha. My second brew of the same tsp of leaves was just as strong and the same flavoring. I added a small bit of honey, but it doesn't necessarily need it if you don't want the extra sweetness added to. I really enjoyed it and with all the health benefits, I would definitely purchase this again. I may try other brands to compare, but this is a very lovely tea. A little goes a long way. Start small, I made one cup, then half a cup all with the same leaves. I've read you can do up to 4 steeps, but I couldn't hold anymore in, as it filled me up.

I was looking for a Japanese green tea to try out and should've looked more into this type before purchasing. I must say I drink a lot of tea, of many varieties, but had never tried gyokuro before. I have been drinking a lot of dark puerh tea recently and was looking to try something different. Oh man, it's very different indeed. The first pot I brewed like I normally would with green tea. I had the water temp down to about 170 and had out in about 4-5 grams of tea into my gaiwan. I steeped for about 30-40 seconds on the first round. The flavor was horrid. Extremely bitter and a dash of rotting corpse. I was bewildered. I tried cooler water and a faster steep, it was a little better but nowhere near my liking. After doing some more research, I discovered some proper ways to brew gyokuro and gave it another attempt. The results were much better. Very savory and brothy flavor, something akin to a vegetable-chicken broth. No rotting corpse this time. It's still not really my cup of tea, but there are some who really enjoy the flavor. To each their own. I'll stick with my ripe pu'erh teas for a while though.

I am now purchasing my second package of this tea. I think they call it popcorn tea.. but not sure about that. I watched a video on YouTube some while ago, because I was searching for the right tea to replace my coffee addiction. I have tasted many types of teas over the past year and this is by far the best. It is not strong, bitter or medicinal tasting (like some teas can be). In fact, I was searching for the type of green tea you get at Asian restaurants -because it was always just mild tasting and soothing.. and always tasty. I love this tea and would recommend it for someone trying to move to a healthier drink than coffee, but still want something hot to drink during the day. Plus I think because it is green tea, there are health benefits as well.
