Genmaicha with Sencha Superior
Genmaicha, sometimes known as “popcorn tea” is a blend between green tea and roasted and popped rice. It is a perfect breakfast tea, and is often favored for later in the evening because of its mellow, yet toasty flavor.
Our Genmaicha with Sencha uses the higher grade Sencha leaves, and adds a well-balanced freshness to the rich and hearty flavor and aroma of roasted grains.
A Japanese Tea for any occasion Genmaicha
This is an everyday tea that can be enjoyed at almost any . It is a favorite tea for many, especially for those who find regular green tea too “grassy”. The flavor is mellow, and is very smooth.
Traditionally, Genmaicha was considered to be a “poor man’s tea”. The puffed rice was used as a “filler” to keep the price down. Often made with nibancha or sanbancha (2nd and 3rd harvest teas), it is still considered by many to be a “cheap tea”. However, all Genmaicha’s at Matabay are made from first flush tea leaves, which add a splendid freshness to the mix, and is a favorite amongst those who love Gemnaicha for its flavor and aroma.
