Organic Genmaicha
Japanese Green Tea - Toasted Brown Rice
 

Our highly skilled supplier has created a wonderful pairing of good quality organic Sencha and organic toasted brown rice. The taste is rich, mild and never strong or bitter. There is an intriguing and subtle complexity about the flavor of this near perfect blend that is very satisfying. The flavor does not change as it cools. The second steeped liquid is a milder version of the first. Organic Genmaicha is significantly lower in caffeine than other Japanese green teas so it can be enjoyed into the evening, which makes it a favorite dinnertime beverage in Japan. Organic Genmaicha has been produced according to the strict guidelines of the JAS (Japan Agricultural Standard) and is certified organic.

Brewing Suggestions:
First Infusion: Add 1 gram of tea per 100 ml of fresh water, or about one tablespoon per potful. Heat the water to 80C (180F) and brew for one minute. 

Second Infusion: Brew with the same temperature water as the first infusion but for only a few seconds. Please note that the caffeine content of green tea becomes significantly less after the first steeping.
