Tea of the Week for May 30, 2022/Featured Reblend for May!
This blend was originally blended during Frank’s era & I haven’t reblended it until now. I’m happy to have this tea once again because it’s seriously yummy! (I actually prefer the genmaicha version of this recipe over the black tea version – which is a bit of an oddity for me because generally speaking, black tea tends to be my favorite base.)
This reblend is better than the original, in my opinion, if for no other reason than because this blend utilizes my organic genmaicha which I find superior to the genmaicha that Frank used. I infused my genmaicha with organic, ceremonial matcha & blended it with bananas, coconuts & my recipe of essence to give this blend a creamy, luscious pudding note.
Deliciously sweet, this dessert-y blend is organic, vegan, gluten-free & all natural!
organic ingredients: green teas, popped/toasted rice, bananas, coconut & natural flavors
