Because Mr. Sakamoto specializes in Gyokuro, he shades the tea plants for 3 weeks prior to the harvest, in order to boost the levels of theanine, caffeine and chlorophyll. This also creates a sweeter and more savory flavor in the tea. The soil on the farm of Mr. Sakamoto is incredibly soft, due to the diversity of flora and fauna on the field which loosens up the soil.

As mentioned before, when you drink genmaicha with matcha, you are consuming more of the leaf, so if there are any pesticides or chemicals on the tea, you will be getting a heavier dose of that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe make sure that all the teas on our website are grown without the use of pesticides or chemicals, and the matcha genmaicha is no exception. When we visit these tea fields that have not been treated with pesticides, we notice that there is a diverse array of plant an animal life thriving in between the rows of tea plants. This allows us to drink tea with peace of mind, knowing that it was grown in a gentler, more sustainable way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to prepare the tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional brewing \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor brewing genmaicha with matcha, we recommend using a slightly higher temperature and a shorter brewing time.

You can make more cups of tea from the same leaves. Just add the same temperature water to the teapot again and let the leaves steep for a quick 20 seconds for subsequent infusions. In each infusion, you get a slightly different flavor profile, which allows you to enjoy three different cups of tea from the same batch of leaves. It's a great way to get to know the complexity and versatility of this exquisite tea!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNecessary teaware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo elevate your matcha genmaicha brewing to the next level, we recommend using a kyusu teapot for the best possible experience. This traditional Japanese teapot is designed to allow ample space for the tea leaves to unfurl and release their warm, roasted flavors into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kyusu also features a built-in sifter that automatically filters out the tea leaves as you pour, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable tea-drinking experience without any getting any leaves in the tea cup.

This may not get you as rich of a flavor compared to the kyusu, but at least it will keep the tea leaves from getting into your cup! You can always upgrade to a teapot later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLocation of production and farmer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere Does the Gyokuro Genmaicha Come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matcha genmaicha is grown in Shizuoka, Japan’s largest tea growing region. Shizuoka is located just a few hundred miles from Tokyo, and it has a diverse landscape with both flat lands and small mountains. It is perhaps best known for its iconic views of Mt. Fuji, and teas like the genmaicha brown rice green tea with matcha are grown just a short distance from this iconic peak. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis matcha genmaicha green tea was grown on a small plantation in the hills of Shizuoka. Because the tea plants are nestled into these hills, they receive partial shading throughout the day, which can improve the taste of the green tea. This is because when the tea plant is exposed to direct sunlight, it will begin to produce more catechins, which create the bitter flavors in the tea. Anytime the tea plant is cut off from sunlight, whether it be directly or indirectly, it will reduce the amount of catechins in the leaves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Makes the Gyokuro Genmaicha?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matcha genmaicha tea is made by the farmers at Zenkouen. We had the privilege of meeting with the farmers of Zenkouen and sitting down with them for a few cups of tea. The genmaicha in particular made a good impression on us, as it was a nice balance between the nutty flavors of the rice and the sweet vegetal flavors of the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also toured the facility of Zenkouen and got to take a look at some of his organic fertilizers. The farmers use a blend of shells, organic materials and charcoal to nourish the plants without using pesticides or chemicals. It is important to create not only a healthy environment for the tea, but also for other animals as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we first arrived at the tea fields, we interrupted 2 grazing serow in the middle of their dinner. They were feasting on the vegetation growing between the tea fields, and it was a good sign to see that other plants could grow on the field besides just tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCultivar and tea plant variety \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis matcha genmaicha is made from the Yabukita cultivar, the most popular tea cultivar in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYabukita\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYabukitais now the most popular tea cultivar in Japan, making up 75% of the total tea production. One of the reasons is that the tea plants are resistant to frost, which prepares them for the comparatively cold winters of central Japan. Another reason it’s so popular is the bold savory and steamed vegetable flavors it produces. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Mixing Genmaicha with Matcha Tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matcha genmaicha green tea comes with many different benefits. The easiest one to notice is the fact that the matcha imparts a very strong flavor into the tea. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’ve ever had matcha before, you’ll know that the flavor is far more intense compared to a regular green tea. The same is true for matcha genmaicha tea, which has the rich and full-bodied flavor of a matcha combined with the pleasant warm cereal notes of a genmaicha. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to getting a stronger flavor, you’ll also get more caffeine when you drink genmaicha with matcha. This is because the matcha powder will be mixed directly into your cup of tea, allowing you to essentially drink more of the tea leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you drink a typical green tea, you are only drinking the compounds within the leaf that have been dissolved into water. Because matcha is a powder tea mixed directly into water, you are consuming the entire leaf, which is why genmaicha matcha has a higher caffeine and nutrient content compared with a typical genmai cha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMatcha genmaicha vs regular toasted rice tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may find yourself trying to decide between matcha genmaicha and regular genmaicha. When you get your genmaicha with matcha, you end up with much more of that green tea flavor to balance out the toasted rice. One of the complaints about normal genmaicha is that it doesn’t taste enough like a green tea and instead all you really get is the taste of toasted rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matcha genmaicha is the perfect fix for this, giving you plenty of that classic green tea flavor. You’ll also notice a vibrant jade green color and more of an energy boost with this tea. Because it is genmaicha with matcha powder, you will end up with a much higher caffeine content compared to a normal genmaicha tea. Depending on what you’re looking for, this could be the perfect tea to enjoy in the afternoon!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping: We are happy to offer complimentary shipping on all orders, utilizing the most cost-effective carrier available in your country.

The finish is a balance between the roasted rice and a slight spring grassiness from the tea leaves. The tea is overall very balanced, with the citrusy flavors of the tea leaves slightly overtaking the flavor of the toasted rice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvaluating the sensation on the palate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this genmaicha popcorn is a combination of green tea leaves and toasted rice, the tea leaves seem to dominate both the flavor and the taste sensation, leaving the palate with this pleasant acidity and mild umami flavor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThis genmaicha popcorn tea is 100% Organically grown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Nio, we take pride in our partnerships with tea farmers who share our commitment to organic and pesticide-free cultivation practices. Through our extensive experience, we have witnessed how this approach not only results in teas with exceptional taste, but also promotes healthier tea fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese environmentally-conscious farms act as sanctuaries for local wildlife, fostering a thriving ecosystem. By sourcing teas from these farms, we are dedicated to promoting sustainability, safeguarding the environment, and advocating for a healthier approach to tea farming.

As part of our partnership with larger tea farms, we hold them to high standards and require them to obtain JAS certification through comprehensive soil testing and sampling, ensuring that our teas meet the highest quality benchmarks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also take pride in collaborating with smaller farms that may not have the resources for extensive testing. In these cases, we embrace their teas under the \"pesticide-free\" label, providing them with opportunities to showcase their exceptional quality teas while maintaining our unwavering commitment to quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are dedicated to promoting transparency and fostering positive partnerships with tea farms of all sizes.

On the tea fields that are treated with high amounts of pesticides and chemicals, we find that nothing is able to grow other than tea plants. There is simply empty rows of tea bushes surrounded by hard black earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the pesticide free tea fields, we notice a thriving ecosystem. Not only are the tea plants able to grow here, but also a diverse array of flora and fauna. Because the earthworms are able to roam freely in the soil, it becomes very loose and the roots of the tea plant are able to penetrate deeper into the ground and absorb more nutrients. This not only creates a healthier, more sustainable environment, but it also enriches the flavor of the tea. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe make sure to only work with farmers that grow their teas without the use of pesticides or chemicals. You can sip this tea with a clear conscience, knowing that it was produced using more sustainable and natural growing methods. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to prepare the tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional brewing \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor brewing genmaicha popcorn tea, we recommend using a slightly higher temperature and a shorter brewing time. When it comes to genmaicha popcorn, the flavor is released quickly, but the higher temperatures can push through some of the warmer notes of the tea!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003e 1st brew \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 1: Heat the water up to a temperature of 80°C (175°F), which is the ideal temperature for the genmaicha popcorn tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 2: Add 5 grams of the genmaicha popcorn to your teapot and pour in 150ml of the heated water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 3: Let the genmaicha popcorn tea brew in the water for 1 minute without disturbing the leaves. This allows the rice and the tea leaves to release a nice warm and nutty flavor and aroma into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep 4: After the brewing time is up, pour out the brewed genmaicha popcorn from the teapot. The teapot will automatically filter out the leaves and the stems so they don't end up in your cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy your delicious cup of genmaicha popcorn tea!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003e 2nd brew \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't let your genmaicha popcorn tea go to waste after just one brewing! You can make 2-3 more cups of tea from the same leaves. Just add the same hot water to the teapot a second, third or even fourth time and let the leaves steep for a quick 20 seconds for subsequent infusions. In each brewing, you’ll get a slightly different flavor profile, allowing you to get to know the complexity and versatility of this exquisite tea!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNecessary teaware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo elevate your genmaicha popcorn tea to the next level, we recommend investing in a kyusu teapot for the best possible experience. This traditional clay teapot is designed to allow enough space for the tea leaves to unfurl and release their warm, nutty flavors into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kyusu also contains a built-in sifter made out of either metal or clay. This automatically filters out the tea leaves as you pour, giving you a smooth and enjoyable tea-drinking experience without any getting any leaves in the tea cup. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003e Alternative without teaware \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you don’t have a kyusu teapot at home, the next best way to prepare your genmaicha popcorn tea is the tea strainer. This may not get you quite as rich of a flavor as a kyusu teapot, but at least it will keep the tea leaves from getting into your cup! You can always upgrade to a teapot later if you want to improve your cups of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLocation of production and farmer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is the genmaicha popcorn tea made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis genmaicha popcorn tea comes from Shizuoka. Shizuoka is the largest tea producing region in Japan and it is responsible for 40% of the total tea produced in the country. Here, at the foot of the beautiful Mt. Fuji, tea is produced on both flat lands as well as mountain tea plantations. With a large, diverse landscape it is no surprise that so many of the tea farmers we work with decide to call this region home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho makes the genmaicha popcorn tea?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Genmaicha popcorn tea is grown by the farmer Mr. Masuda. Mr. Masuda has been working on the same tea field for many years and he is committed to growing green tea without the use of pesticides or chemicals. We are proud to say that we have been working with the Masuda family for the better part of a decade, and during that time he has introduced us to so many incredible teas during that time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCultivar and tea plant variety \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe genmaicha popcorn is made using the Yabukita cultivar, the most prevalent cultivar in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYabukita\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYabukita has emerged as the reigning tea cultivar in Japan, commanding a staggering 75% of the total tea production. Its widespread popularity can be attributed to multiple factors, including its remarkable frost resistance, which makes it well-suited for the colder winters of central Japan. Additionally, Yabukita is known for its distinctive taste profile, characterized by bold savory notes and delightful hints of steamed vegetables, further enhancing its appeal among tea enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping: We are happy to offer complimentary shipping on all orders, using the most cost-effective carrier available in your country.
