Rose City Genmaicha Blend No. 1912

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

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.

I have repurchased this herbal tea so many times. It is a beautiful looking and tasting tea. I love the flowers and petals in it, as it brews they look even more vibrant. It smells so nice, flowery but not perfumy at all, the chamomile really stands out. I now get the loose leaf 4oz bag directly from the vendor. It is the perfect afternoon/evening relaxing, soothing tea, we brew a big batch in the Hasami tea pot and drink it all evening. I brew it twice to get the most of it. It's delicious hot of course as well as iced. Smith's Teamaker has become my favorite tea provider, all of their loose leaf teas are so high quality and they taste amazing.

Great quality and flavor

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.

I am a genmaicha tea fan and I have to say that this is particularly tasty version. It does contain tea sourced from China. The box was pretty beat up in the shipping process, but the tea bags were fine. I wish I could find this locally more easily. I live in a small town with few shopping options - so I rely on Amazon. If you are a fan of genmaicha tea, I would highly recommend this one for a try. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful and I hope my review was helpful to you!

Nice flavor and great ingredients

it's really good! I love the tea. However, I think it's way too expensive for the quantity and quality of bags: they are made of plastic mesh, which is not healthy.
