GREEN TEA: Genmaicha 2023, Japan - organic

2024 harvest arriving late October/early November

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.

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.
