I just tried a new fantastic green tea that I really liked. I cannot tell what the other ingredient is in this green tea blend. Here is a link of the tea.

It tastes like toasted brown rice but, I am not completely sure if it is. Is anyone familiar with this type of tea with that kind of ingredient? Is there a term I can use to find more tea like this one? I believe the term is gen mai, is that correct? Can anyone recommend their favorite type of gen mai? Thank you.
I'm no expert... but I believe most loose-leaf tea vendors carry genmaicha, and my experience has shown it all to taste very similar. Someone may be able to recommend a particularly good one, but to me, they all taste much the same. I like it very much too... and recommend you also try mugicha (roasted barley) mixed with sencha if you enjoy that toasty taste.
