+ Taste

This loose Genmaicha has an intensely sweet, slightly spicy flavor. It smells slightly toasty after infusion and has a bright yellow color. Compared to our Senchas, it is slightly sweeter, slightly spicy and hardly grassy. Particularly practical: it contains no caffeine and can thus be drunk without hesitation even by sensitive people as well as in the evening or with meals.

+ Producer

This Sencha comes from the Kirishima in Kagoshima Prefecture of Kyushu Island. Mr. Toshimi manages his farm, which covers over 60 hectares of tea fields, without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Toshimi Nishi is already well known in Europe as a producer of Gyokuro, Matcha and high quality Sencha. Here at SHO CHA, his Genmaicha is now celebrating its exclusive premiere. You can get an impression of the tea farm in the video below.

+ Cultivation

The Genmaicha is of course grown completely pesticide-free and without chemical fertilizers. We have also had this checked externally - you can see the pesticide report in the picture gallery above. So you can be sure that our tea is 100% free of harmful substances.

Mr. Toshimi uses tea bushes of the cultivar Yabukita for his fruity Genmaicha. You can not do anything with it? We explain it in our FAQ.

+ Preparation & Storage

2-3 teaspoons per cup / 80-90 degrees / 60-120 seconds

The loose tea is infused in a pot with a strainer. Alternatively, you can use fillable disposable tea bags. It is a sweet, aromatic and smooth green tea and tastes both beginners and green tea connoisseurs. Our tutorial video below shows you how to make it easily.

More infusions

It can, like any good Genmaicha, of course, be infused several times. So you have not only longer something from the tea but it also dissolves more and more healthy substances from the tea. Here you can try different temperatures and infusion times to find out what you like best.

Cold infusion

Our Genmaicha is just like our Senchas especially suitable for cold preparation: simply pour the double amount of Genmaicha with cold water and infuse for 10-15min. Then stir briefly and ready is the delicious & light refreshment. Our tutorial video below shows you this simple and mega refreshing preparation method.

Storage

The Sencha comes in a sealed and resealable flavor bag. The removal is thus super easy and the tea stays fresh for a long time.
