Genmaicha Matcha-iri

Genmaicha Matcha-iri is a curated blend of Sencha, roasted puffed brown rice, and Matcha. The Matcha powder lightly coats the tea and has the rich flavour of roasted grains with the freshness of Matcha and Sencha. 

Most Genmaicha in the market is made from a mix of puffed rice and low-grade Sencha, low-grade Nibancha (tea from the second harvest of the year) or Sanbancha (tea from the third harvest of the year). Our Genmaicha Matcha-iri is made from only Ichibancha (tea from the first harvest of the year) and is recommended for everyday tea.

Zen Monks experienced that drinking Matcha enabled them to be more focused and maintain a level of sustained energy. The Shogun realised the remarkable benefits of extra energy and mental concentration and made it their Ceremonial drink before going into war. Matcha was extremely precious and was only produced in tiny quantities so that only the Shogun and nobility were able to drink.

With lots of unparalleled health benefits coupled with the ability to torch fats and increase metabolism rate. It is an excellent choice to have Matcha before exercise as it is able to burn fats 4 times faster than normal and it doesn’t cause digestive issues and is easy in the intestine and oesophagus, no wonder Matcha is widely loved in the world as the best health drink.
