This is Den's Tea special blend of genmaicha with matcha. This blend uses a tea ceremony grade of matcha and quality bancha. We took two great of Japanese tea and merged them together. Origin: Shizuoka Harvest: First Flush Cultivar: Yabukita Tasting Profile: A highly aromatic tea; slightly sweet smell of the matcha works together with the nutty aroma of the genmai and the fresh "green" smell of the bancha. The matcha contributes a natural sweetness to the full, nutty flavor of the Genmaicha. Den's Preferred Brewing: Leaf-water ratio: 2-3 g (~1 tsp)/4 oz Water: Boiled; Steep: 30 sec 2nd Cup Water: Boiled; Steep 15 sec For a cup of Iced Tea: Steep as directed for hot tea. Once you brew it, put ice into the cup to lock in the aroma.
