Genmaicha (organic sencha blended with roasted whole grain brown rice and matcha Powder)
Also known as `Popcorn Tea'; this tea has nutty notes and can be enjoyed both hot or cold-brewed. High-grade first flush sencha is used rather than the more common lower grade bancha found in tea of his type. Plantation area: JAS certified organic, located at 400-600m above sea level (some of the highest in Japan) in the natural surroundings of the Southern Alps in Shizuoka, Japan. The temperature in the mountains drops rapidly in the evenings, slowing the growth of the tea plants and producing tea leaves full of aroma.
Small batches are shipped from the manufacturer weekly to ensure long shelf-life. This tea has also been vacuum-sealed immediately after being processed to seal in the freshness.
