GREEN TEA: Genmaicha 2024, 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) 2024 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.

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
