Discover a harmonious fusion of tradition and innovation with our Uji Matcha Genmaicha a refined interpretation of one of Japan’s most beloved teas. This exquisite blend combines the comforting warmth of Genmaicha with the depth and vitality of ceremonial grade Matcha from Uji, resulting in a tea that is both nourishing and invigorating.

Crafted with premium ingredients sourced from the verdant regions of Uji and Kagoshima, this Matcha Genmaicha offers an accessible and delicious way to enjoy the benefits of matcha without the need for ceremonial tools or whisking rituals.

Genmaicha, often referred to as “the people’s tea”, is traditionally made from Bancha green tea leaves mixed with roasted and puffed brown rice. Sometimes called “popcorn tea” due to the occasional popped grain, it is widely enjoyed in Japan for its comforting, toasty flavor and low theine content.

This version elevates the traditional Genmaicha by blending it with ceremonial grade Matcha from the famed Uji region home to Japan’s most revered matcha producers. The result is a vibrant, jade green infusion with golden highlights color that balances the nutty, malty warmth of roasted rice with the vegetal sweetness and umami depth of high-grade Matcha. Slightly malty and warm, yet with a refreshing, umami finish with a gentle astringency from Bancha, softened by the sweetness of puffed rice and matcha. It has a smooth and full-bodied, with a silky mouthfeel.

This tea is ideal both as a daily comfort brew and a gourmet alternative for those seeking a unique matcha experience without the formality of traditional preparation. This tea offers a powerful combination of benefits drawn from its three core components: Matcha Uji rich in catechins antioxidants, chlorophyll, and L-theanine, supporting relaxation, mental clarity, and cellular health. The Bancha Green Tea naturally low in theine, high in minerals, and gently astringent-ideal for digestion and hydration. Then the roasted puffed rice warming and soothing to the stomach, traditionally used in Japan to balance meals and support gut health

While Bancha on its own is low in theine, the addition of Matcha increases the tea’s energizing properties, making it a gently stimulating beverage perfect for morning or early afternoon focus.
