Our Genmaicha with Gyokuro brings a unique quality to Genmaicha, which is usually based off of Sencha.  The Gyokuro added to the mix brings the sweetness into the picture, enhancing the aroma and flavor of the roasted grains.  This tea is full flavored with a wonderful aroma, and is as smooth as silk.

Genmaicha & Gyokuro Japanese Tea Blend

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.
