I think I've discovered my new favourite tea.  It's called Genmaicha, from Davids Tea, and it's so fricken good.  It reminds me of tea from this little sushi place in Winnipeg.  It's a combination of green tea, roasted rice (which I think is my favourite flavour in the tea), and oddly, popcorn.  Although there's far less popcorn then it shows on the website, just so that you know.

And I finally learned the trick to brewing green tea: 75 degree C water.  Otherwise you can scald the tea, which makes it bitter.  HA!  I've finally conquered you, green tea!  You are now mine!  :D

Really though, as long as you don't over-brew or scald it, it has a lovely, light taste, without any hint of bitterness.  And since cutting the bitterness is the reason I usually add sugar to tea, this is a tea I will happily drink cup after cup of without any sugar. 

Which is good because I really need to cut out sugar from my diet.  Which actually means cutting out coffee, but that'll wait until after I submit.  (Maybe it's time to get a new hot beverage <3 icon...)

I digress.  I love all the teas I've gotten from Davids Tea, but this is by far my favourite.  I think I'll be getting a tin of it next!
