1. For one serving, add 1 heaping teaspoon (approx. 3-4g) of tea leaves to a teapot or infuser. 2. Pour 200ml (about 6.8 oz) of hot water at 80°C (176°F)—just below boiling—over the leaves. 3. Steep for 60 seconds. 4. Pour into your cup, ensuring you get both the green tea leaves and the matcha powder. The matcha will settle; this is normal. Stir gently before drinking if desired. **Timeline Expectations**: Week 1: Notice the smooth, toasty flavor with no bitterness and a feeling of relaxed alertness.

Marukyu Koyamaen was founded in Uji, Kyoto in 1704, a region designated by the Japanese government for producing the world's finest green tea. For over 300 years, our family has cultivated tea with a single philosophy: to create the perfect daily cup that brings calm focus to a busy modern life. This Genmaicha Matcha blend was created to offer the sustained, gentle energy of roasted rice with the antioxidant-rich depth of our premium matcha. Every leaf is grown, harvested, and stone-ground in our Uji facilities, following centuries-old techniques that have earned us the trust of Japanese tea masters. It's a top-ranked genmaicha for its balanced flavor and consistent quality, directly from the source to your cup.

Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha Genmaicha - Premium Uji Green Tea 100g is a meticulously crafted blend that combines two traditional Japanese tea components: premium Uji green tea leaves and roasted brown rice (genmai), with the addition of finely ground matcha powder. The base consists of high-quality sencha or bancha green tea leaves sourced from the renowned Uji region of Kyoto, known for producing some of Japan's finest teas due to its ideal climate and soil conditions. These leaves provide the foundation of the tea, offering a smooth, vegetal flavor rich in antioxidants like catechins, which support metabolism and overall wellness. The roasted brown rice is included to impart a nutty, toasty aroma and a slightly sweet, comforting taste, while also adding dietary fiber and making the tea more filling and satisfying. The matcha powder, made from shade-grown tencha leaves stone-ground into a fine powder, is blended in to enhance the tea's vibrant green color, boost its umami flavor profile, and increase its nutritional content, including higher levels of L-theanine for calm focus and chlorophyll for detoxification. Together, these ingredients create a harmonious balance of flavors and health benefits, delivering an energizing yet soothing experience that promotes relaxation, digestive health, and sustained energy without the jitters often associated with caffeine.
