"When you reached out to collaborate I knew exactly what I would pick. I didn't even have to taste any other teas.
This is the tea I live on."

About Genmaimatcha
Our Genmai Matcha hails from the famed town of Uji and is a blend of first flush Sencha, high-grade Matcha powder, and toasted puffed-brown rice. A deep green cup with a silky mouthfeel and a lovely baked grain finish. We blend with a higher ratio of tea to rice - meaning the sweet flavor of the Sencha and Matcha are allowed to shine while the rice adds a balanced toastiness.

What is so special about this tea? Made by a cooperative of three producers, the rice, Sencha and Matcha powder are all cultivated separately and brought together creating a wonderful union of color, flavor and aroma.
Why Chef Kent Picked This Tea: First, the impact is so noticeable - the richness, and the umami character of the Tamaryokucha is so clear. I feel it is so capable of pairing with many types of food but can also be enjoyed on its own as a truly beautiful cup of tea. This is something you can truly focus on and it rewards again each time".
