Genmaicha
Organic green tea, Japan

20 grams

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.

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.
