Taste Notes
This organic genmaicha is a simple blend of organic bancha green tea leaves and roasted organic rice. We carefully selected these leaves for their light, astringent flavor, and adjusted the balance of roasted rice to make a harmonious blend. You can enjoy sipping this tea lightheartedly throughout the day and with meals.
Ippodo's organic selection
Our organic teas are cultivated and produced under the standards for JAS organic certification. Additionally, we have selected each organic variety to meet Ippodo standards for authentic Japanese green tea flavor, aroma, and color. Since the weather and other growing factors lead to a different character for our organic selection every year, discovering this year's flavor is one of the delights of this tea.
Genmaicha
One of the more popular banchas, genmaicha is a mixture of yanagi (large plain green tea leaves) and roasted rice. The rice is roasted at two different levels: lightly roasted and deeply roasted until the rice grains puff. The result is a unique savory flavor and a strong popcorn-like aroma. The quantity of rice is purposely kept to a minimum while there is an ample amount of leaves with a light bitterness. This provides a perfect balance between the roasted aroma and the refreshing aftertaste of the yanagi.
Genmaicha goes well with meals and is tasty as an everyday tea.
