Smith Teamaker | Rose City Genmaicha No. 1912 - Sencha, Genmai, Mao Feng Green Tea & Rose Petals | Caffeinated Roasted Rice Full Leaf Green Tea Blend (15 Sachets, 1.26oz each)

I've enjoyed the nutty flavor of genmaicha since the first time I tried it in a small tea shop in NYC. I like creative tea blends, but I don't love artificial tasting flavored teas. This is what Steven Smith does so well: the blends are true to the originals as a strong base but with other elements added to make them just different enough to offer a new experience. In this case, it's a blend of green teas with rose petals added. The petals both look pretty and add a hint of rose flavor without overwhelming the blend. The result is a fresh, tasty tea that is unmistakably genmaicha with a delightful accent of rose. This is one I'll keep around regularly.

This is truly a high-quality tea. A lot of genmaichai in bags comes without the toasted rice kernels. This has got the true genmaichai experience in a teabag. Very good.

This is my new favorite green tea. I love the toasted rice and the rose petals. Such a wonderful combination!

Delicious!

The yummiest tea I’ve ever had! It has a toasted rice aroma and is so addicting. I have to have it all the time now 🥰

Rose CITY makes it sound like it will be very rose in flavor though I realize the name is in honor of a city. It's actually very Genmaicha. The bergamot and rose petals tweak the Genmaicha in a pleasant way but having tasted this, I think I can blend my own comparable cup with teas I already have on hand. I don't dislike this tea purchase but I think the company's "PR" is high-falutin' and braggadocious. They overrate their own offerings. There are many great teas in the world and many awesome approaches to making great tea.

Smith tea may be a bit more expensive but it is the Mercedes of tea. The Rose Genmaiche is a robust nutty flavor that is smooth. It is a hug on a cool day. All their non-caffeinated flavors are equally delightful and flavorful. Try one of the variety packs to help you understand how lovely the flavor profiles are.

All, every tea iI purchase from Smith teamaker is of the highest quality. The teas have exceptional flavor notes - the blendsare perfection.
