Matcha iri Genmaicha
The Best of Both Worlds: Toasted, Vegetal, and Bold
For those who find pure Matcha a bit intense but crave the vibrant energy of Japanese green tea, Matcha iri Genmaicha is the perfect bridge. This blend takes traditional Genmaicha—a mix of large Bancha tea leaves and roasted brown rice—and coats it in a brilliant dusting of fine Matcha powder. It is a visually stunning tea that offers a complex, multi-layered experience in every cup.
Flavor Profile & Aroma
The Flavor: A popular favorite that combines the comforting taste of roasted vegetables with fresh, vegetal notes of spinach and artichoke. The result is a savory, irresistible balance.
The Aroma: The predominant scent is that of roasted brown rice, beautifully balanced by vegetal undertones and subtle hints of citrus.
The Leaves: A beautiful dry blend of large Bancha leaves and toasted brown rice (including occasional "popped" rice) all dusted with brilliant green Matcha powder.
How to Brew
To achieve the perfect balance of sweetness and nuttiness, follow these specific steps:
Water Temperature: Heat your water to 175°F. Using cooler water ensures the Matcha remains smooth and does not become too strong or bitter.
Steep Time: Brew for 3 minutes. This time is essential to fully extract the deep, nutty flavor from the roasted brown rice.
Enjoy: Savor the caffeinated boost and the savory-sweet profile of this Japanese classic.
