YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Genmaicha with Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea blend—sencha leaves, roasted brown rice and a touch of matcha—packaged as 60 convenient tea bags for consistent, authentic cups.
This Genmaicha combines carefully selected sencha leaves, toasted brown rice and premium matcha to deliver a smooth, nutty tea with lively green color and gentle astringency. Crafted in Japan and inspired by Kyoto–Uji tea traditions, the blend balances savory roasted notes with the vegetal richness of matcha, while the tea-bag format makes it simple to brew at home, at work, or on the go.
What does this Genmaicha taste like and when is it best to drink?
The flavor is mildly grassy from sencha, warm and toasty from roasted brown rice, with a subtle umami lift and deeper color from matcha. It finishes smooth, not bitter, and contains less caffeine than straight sencha or pure matcha, making it suitable for many times of day.
- Notes: vegetal green tea, toasted rice, soft umami finish.
- Body: light to medium, smooth mouthfeel.
- Best served: hot for comforting warmth, cold-brewed for a bright iced tea.
- Caffeine profile: lower than sencha-only, approachable for afternoon sipping.
How should I brew these 60 tea bags for reliable results?
Brewing Genmaicha in bags is straightforward—shorter steeping avoids bitterness while fully extracting nutty and matcha notes. Use these guidelines to get consistent cups every time.
- Hot brew: steep 1 bag in 175–85°C (80–185°F) water for 1–2 minutes for a balanced cup.
- Cold brew: steep 1–2 bags in cold water for 4–8 hours in the fridge for a mellow iced tea.
- Re-steep: one bag can be reused once for a lighter second infusion.
- Serving: enjoy plain or with light sweetener; pairs well with light snacks and meals.
What makes this Genmaicha different from other green teas?
This product blends three distinct elements—sencha, roasted brown rice and matcha—so you get the toasty aroma of genmaicha with enhanced color and depth from added matcha. The bagged format keeps preparation simple while preserving traditional flavor components.
- Ingredient trio: sencha leaves + roasted brown rice + Kyushu matcha.
- Authenticity: blended and crafted in Japan following genmaicha tradition.
- Convenience: individually portioned tea bags for reproducible flavor.
- Versatility: works hot or cold and suits a range of palates.
How long does this tea stay fresh and how should I store it?
To keep aroma and flavor intact, store the tea in a cool, dry place away from strong smells and sunlight. Proper storage helps retain matcha vibrancy and the roasted rice character over time.
- Storage: airtight container or reseal original packaging promptly.
- Environment: cool, dark, and dry—avoid heat and humidity.
- Shelf life: best enjoyed within the printed best-before period for peak flavor.
- Travel tip: tea bags are portable and ideal for making a fresh cup when away from home.
