Genmaicha NeoSoilon® Wrapped Teabag

I was worried these wrapped bags would lose the fresh toasty flavor, but the genmaicha still tastes great. The individual wrapping keeps each bag smelling nutty and sweet right up until I steep it.

The roasted brown rice gives it this toasty, almost nutty flavor that makes it way easier to drink than plain green tea. I really like that each bag is individually wrapped in NeoSoilon, so it stays fresh in my desk drawer at work. Steeping takes about a minute and it never turns bitter.

I was worried the wrapped bags would taste flat compared to loose genmaicha, but the toasty rice flavor comes through just as well. The NeoSoilon bags don't leave any papery aftertaste either, which I've had issues with before.
