Gen Mai Matcha – Toasted Rice Green Tea with MatchaGen Mai Matcha is a delicious blend of our premium genmaicha and matcha green tea. Our genmaicha is always made with toasted brown rice, which produces a sweeter, richer flavor than cheaper versions made with white rice. We then add a dusting of bold matcha for extra depth, color and body. This aromatic blended tea brings together the refreshing lightness and sweetness of Japanese green tea, the distinctive nutty taste of roasted rice and the rich grassiness of matcha. The result is a bold, satisfying cup with lots of flavor — toasty, sweet and wonderfully green. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItGen Mai Matcha is perfect for those who love a strong tea taste and a caffeinated cup. It combines the comforting toastiness of genmaicha with the rich, vibrant character of matcha — a satisfying cup for any time of day.
How to EnjoyEnjoy it plain as a comforting morning or afternoon cup, and gently swirl your teapot before pouring to mix in the matcha. It pairs perfectly with sushi, ramen, rice bowls and Japanese snacks, and is delicious iced. Toasty, bold and satisfying, Gen Mai Matcha is a delicious twist on a Japanese classic. |

A little steeping tipMatcha adds a deeper green color and sweetness. Stir the cup before drinking.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
