GREEN TEA: Genmaicha 2023, Japan - organic

Genmaicha Premium
Organic green tea, Japan

Flavour: marine, steamed greens, toasty & smooth

While 'Genmaicha' translates to 'brown rice tea', it is often affectionately called ‘Popcorn tea’. The toasted notes of the roasted rice complement the savoury profile of the sencha, creating a smooth and comforting tea that works well on its own or with food- chicken, vegetables, noodle and rice dishes and Japanese cuisine in particular. This is a Spring (April) 2023 harvest premium grade tea from the Yamaguchi family tea farm in Kagoshima, southern Japan.

Certified organic by Kagoshima Organic Agriculture Association.

Preparation: Steep for 2 minutes at 80°. Two infusions. 

Food pairing:  Serve Genmaicha with chicken, vegetables, noodle and rice dishes and Japanese cuisine in particular.

Sizes: Genmaicha comes in five sizes: a 3 gram single serve, then 20g, 50g, 100g and 200g pouches. Our leaves can all be steeped at least twice (often more), so while the 3g pouch is a single serve (150 mls - a standard tea cup size), it will give you two cups if you steep the leaves twice.
