my jar of genmaicha

my Ball jar of genmaicha looks like a beaker of settled pond water. yet it remarkably tastes like toasted brown rice, macha, and green tea. the tea leaves and rice have precipitated to the bottom of the jar, creating a deep green textured surface where all manner of creatures may hide, and the algae-soaked layers above pale to a cloudy yellow until they reach the surface, where a light green froth gathers around the rim, certainly brimming with frogs' eggs.
