This extraordinary grade of Matcha Gen-mai Cha is seldom seen outside of Japan. The components are of exceptional quality, and produce a harmonious, well-balanced infusion, which is eminently smooth. Toasted rice add a soothing, mellow quality to the complex vegetal flavor.

Yum! Great Christmas gift! I drink Assams. I knew basically nothing about green teas much less matcha gen-mai cha, so of course I watched several YouTube's to learn how to brew this. I'm so glad I did because brewed in a little pot at the right temp, timed & poured off, that 1st little cup was a revelation. New sensory awakening!
One of my favorite teas of all time

Love that this is organic. The taste is wonderful--- toasty, warm, and satiating, but refreshing. It's a great substitute for anyone trying to cut down on coffee
My new favorite green

This is my new favorite green tea. Full body, gorgeous color and a rich great flavor. Gen Mai Cha has always been one of my favorite's but with the Matcha it just takes the cake!
Disappointed

Smooth and pleasant tea, but I can't taste toasted rice at all, which is what I'm looking for in Gen-Mai Cha.
Wonderful tea

Bought this tea on a whim and I am not disappointed. It has a vegetal, nutty almost broth consistency/taste to it - which I absolutely love. This cup of tea is now how I start my day, it pairs well with food and is delicious on its own.
Nice genmai cha with more green then most

First i've had with the addition of MAtcha, which gives it a nice full Green tea body, it does dimish somewhat the toastyness of the puffed rice that i enjoy so much about genmaicha (reminds me of puffins breakfast cereal).
Beyond what you think know of green tea...

It's perfect. Beautiful, brothy, never bitter (I brew 2-1/2 minutes at 160 degrees). It's a gentle wake-up in the morning, good on the road, sustaining as the afternoon progresses. Delicious at any temperature. Really special. Can't say enough good things about this tea... give it a try!
Outstanding

This Matcha Gen-mai Cha is truly one of the best that I've tried. It may be worthwhile to know that I prefer bolder, more robust flavor, and this tea has that and more. Straw, earthy, but also slightly sweet. A fantastic tea that I am enjoying even as I type.
Lovely for late morning/early afternoon

This is hands down my favorite tea and has been my choice in the afternoon for the last year or two. It has a lovely green color when steeped. The taste is a marvelous combination of nutty, toasted, and vegetal. I steep for 2 minutes at 170-175 and it is just perfect.
