Hi Everyone,

Has anyone tried Yamamotoyama tea (Genmai-Cha type) or the Brown Rice
with Green tea kind??? I've recently bought it from a chinese
supermarket and the tea bags come in aluminum sealed bags but I find
that I have bad reactions to it like I get a headache after drinking
it on a lot of occassions. I don't know the cause of this but I hope
its not from them adding artificial flavorings or msg when they roast
the brown rice and mix it in with the tea.


You may simply be allergic to the rice. As far as I know, there are no
other additives.



Rice stinks. I can't stand the stuff.


It's an acquired taste, like bergamot. Some people take two seconds to
acquire it. Some take a few tastes, some would rather have their tongues cut
out first. I happen to like genmaicha and Korean barley tea, but Earl Grey?
I'd rather not. Chacun au son gout, I say.




Believe me, I have tried it on several occasions, just like the
bergamot. I guess you are right. You need to have the right tastes.
