Genmaicha
Organic green tea, Japan

Savoury, nutty, toasty, grassy 

Genmaicha is often called ‘Popcorn tea’ and is made by blending Japanese green tea (in this case sencha) with roasted rice. The toasted notes of the rice complement the savoury profile of the sencha, creating a fulfilling tea that works well with food or on its own.

2019 harvest.

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.
