Gen Mai Cha Tea

SIZE

Japanese green tea with toasted rice. Sounds odd, works well. A traditional Japanese recipe combining toasted and partially puffed rice grains with green tea leaves, to produce a tea with a distinctive, sweet and nutty taste.

Taste Notes : Toasted Loveliness
Green Tea

Brewing :  Brewing the best cup. One teaspoon per cup. Boiling water is too fierce for green teas. So, for just-off the boil water, simply boil the kettle, let it sit for three to four minutes, then brew your tea, 2+ mins, sweeten to taste, no milk.

Origin : Japan

Ingredients : Japan green tea, wholemeal puffed rice

Details : Genmaicha ("brown rice tea") is the Japanese name for green tea combined with roasted brown rice. Japan, a country with an ancient tea tradition, only produces green tea, much of which is consumed internally. Japanese green tea boasts a distinctive fresh, green character and appearance. Japanese Green tea is processed differently than the Chinese green teas -- after plucked, it is steamed to neutralize oxidation versus pan-fired.

Excellent flavour.

I buy from Tugboat regularly and always receive excellent service. The Gen Mai Cha is one of my regular teas and the look and aroma of it always arouses the interest of my work colleagues when I brew it.

Olfactory reminiscence

Is it 1976 again? The subtle roast flavour takes me back to my immersion in Macrobiotics and Japanese cooking forty-seven years ago. Thank you Tug Boat for stocking it, and also for the complimentary Jasmine Tea packet - an unexpected bonus :-))

Quality tea

The Genmaicha I purchased tastes really nice. The mix of toasted brown rice and green tea leaves is just right. Tugboat were quick to send it me, and I am very pleased with how easy it was to buy it online.
