Harlequin Matcha Genmaicha is a certified organic tea from Tenryu, Shizuoka, Japan. Sencha green tea leaves and roasted brown rice are masked with a sprinkling of matcha powdered tea. After the initial infusion, the brown rice's color is revealed. The Matcha adds further depth and complexity to the fragrant liquor.
Genmaicha is a highly nimble green tea. It brews at a higher temperature than other green teas and brews best when doing acrobatics in a tea pot while under a tea kettle's steady water stream.
