Japanese Green Tea Bonsai Genmaicha, 2g x15 · Maruyama

Bonsai Genmaicha with Matcha is a Japanese green tea that combines the freshness of Sencha, the warm aroma of roasted rice, and the green depth of Matcha. It's a balanced, accessible, and very Japanese blend in its character – on one hand clean and refreshing, on the other warm, roasted, and comforting.

The puffed roasted rice gives the tea a delicate nutty aroma reminiscent of popcorn, while the Sencha and Matcha add a green color, body, subtle sweetness, and a pleasant green tea bitterness. The result is a tea with presence, but not heavy, suitable for those who already love Japanese tea and for those who want to start with a more friendly blend.

It pairs excellently with food – sushi, onigiri, rice, gyoza, tofu, steamed vegetables, bento, and light Japanese dishes – and is also suitable for drinking on its own at the start of the day or in the afternoon.

Ingredients: Sencha green tea, puffed roasted rice, Matcha.

Tips
It is recommended to brew with hot but not boiling water, to maintain balance and avoid developing too strong a bitterness.
A relatively short brewing time will suit a delicate taste; a slightly longer brew will give more body and a more pronounced green flavor.
Especially suitable alongside sushi, onigiri, gyoza, rice, tofu, and light Japanese meals.
A second brew can be performed, where the roasted rice and green tea will give a softer and more delicate character.
After opening, it is recommended to keep well-sealed in a dry, cool, and shaded place, away from moisture and strong odors.
