YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Genmaicha Green Tea with Matcha — 60 Tea Bags, Toasty Nutty Flavor

YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Genmaicha with Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea blend of sencha, toasted brown rice and matcha, offered in 60 convenient tea bags for a smooth, nutty cup.

This Genmaicha comes from YAMASAN KYOTO UJI's careful blending of selected sencha leaves, roasted brown rice and premium matcha powder. Designed to deliver the mild astringency of green tea, the warm, toasty aroma of roasted rice and a vivid green color from matcha, these single-serve bags make it simple to enjoy an authentic Kyoto Uji-style brew at home, work, or on the go.

How does this Genmaicha differ from regular green tea?

Genmaicha pairs green tea with roasted brown rice, producing a milder caffeine profile and a nutty, toasty aroma not found in pure sencha or matcha teas. The added matcha deepens the color and lifts the umami for a fuller mouthfeel.

• Blend: sencha leaves + roasted brown rice + fine matcha powder.
• Flavor: gentle astringency with toasted, nutty notes.
• Caffeine: typically lower than straight sencha or matcha-only blends.
• Appearance: lively green hue from matcha infusion.

What’s the best way to brew these tea bags for a balanced cup?

For a balanced cup, steep one tea bag in water around 75–85°C (167–185°F) for 1–2 minutes to extract delicate flavors without bitterness. For iced tea, cold-brew in the refrigerator for 3–6 hours for a smooth, refreshing result.

• Hot: 1 bag, 200–250 ml water, 75–85°C, 1–2 minutes.
• Cold-brew: 1 bag per 300–500 ml, refrigerate 3–6 hours.
• Adjust: shorter steep for lighter taste, longer for fuller matcha color.
• Reuse: can be re-steeped once for a second, milder cup.

How can I use this Genmaicha in everyday routines or recipes?

Genmaicha's mild, nutty profile works well as a stand-alone daily drink or as an ingredient in simple culinary uses. It complements rice dishes, light pastries, and can be incorporated into smoothies or chilled beverage mixes for added green tea flavor and color.

• Daily cup: calm, low-intensity tea for mornings or afternoons.
• Cooking: infuse milk or water for custards, ice cream, or broths.
• Cold drinks: blend into iced lattes or green tea spritzers.
• Pairing: excellent with savory snacks and light sweets.

What should I expect from the packaging and tea bag quality?

• Packaging: resealable or boxed format for freshness (check label).
