GENMAICHA | JAPANESE GREEN TEA WITH TOASTED BROWN RICE | BROWN RICE GREEN TEA | JAPANESE TEA - Mild green tea with delicious, nutty and sweet flavour

GENMAICHA | JAPANESE GREEN TEA

Regular price $12.50 $0.00

"Genmaicha" is the Japanese term for "brown rice tea." This traditional and popular Japanese tea combines green tea with toasted brown rice, resulting in a distinctive and enjoyable blend. It is a mild green tea, recognized for its delightful nutty flavour and a hint of sweetness, attributed to the toasted brown rice, which also reduces its caffeine content.

This exquisite green tea originates from a certified organic garden on the enchanting Yakushima Island, a natural paradise with forests enveloping 90% of its terrain. The island's unique and untouched environment is ideal for cultivating superior green teas.

Ingredients:

Green tea, toasted brown rice

Origin:

Yakushima Island, Kagoshima, Japan

Steeping guide:

Tea: 5g Water: 85°C, 1cup   Time: 30-60 sec

Infusions: 2+ 

How to prepare:

There is no set rule for brewing tea because each tea type is different. This is a rough guide to get you started. Please experiment to find your ideal steeping time based on your personal taste.

Before preparing any type of tea always warm the teapot and teacups by rinsing it with hot water.

Put 5g of tea in the preheated tea pot and add water at 85°C over the leaves in a circular manner so that all the leaves are wet. Let it steep for 1 minute.

When brewing in a tea pot please pour the tea out in cups until the last drop to avoid over steeping the tea left in the teapot as this will result in a unpleasant and bitter flavour.

Don’t throw out your tea leaves after your first cup of tea. The same tea leaves can be steeped up to three times. Discover the nuances of tea with every infusion.

For the second infusion, increase water temperature to 90 C and steep for only 30 seconds. It is a quick steep because the leaves are already wet and have brewed after the first infusion.

Third infusion, water temperature 90 C and let it steep for up to 2 minutes to extract all the flavour from the tea leaves.

Love this tea

I would like to highly recommend the Green Leaf Teahouse. A friend gave me a packet of the Genmaicha tea a while ago as a gift. I opened it recently and am total hooked on the aroma and subtle taste, I had to buy more. Bhamini made my purchasing experience a delight with a personal email thanking me for my order, also the delivery was prompt. Thankyou Bhamini I am a happy customer.

Thanks Kim for your wonderful feedback. A big thank you to your friend for introducing you to Green Leaf Teahouse :)

I love drinking Green Tea. I wasn't sure about the addition of roasted organic rice grains... until I tried it. Wow! add Genmaicha to your list.

Thanks Ruth :) I am glad you tried something different. Genmaicha is a lovely light green tea.
