The verdict

Where this pick fits.

Sencha mixed with roasted brown rice and popped corn. Comforting, savory, almost like a thin broth in the cup. The Japanese cure for a long afternoon.

Green tea, roasted rice, popped corn. Savory cup. Long-afternoon medicine. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
