Matcha Genmaicha Tea made with Bancha, roasted rice, and Matcha

The Organic Matcha Genmaicha available on Terzaluna is a Genmaicha with the addition of a precious Matcha powder, dedicated to those who love sweet flavors and want to enjoy the properties of Matcha tea without dealing with its complicated preparation process.

This Matcha Genmaicha is composed of Bancha tea leaves, roasted puffed rice, and Matcha tea powder. Genmaicha tea is considered in Japan the "tea of the people", and is also known as "popcorn tea", because during the roasting process of the puffed rice some grains "pop" and can be found in the tea.

The flavor of Matcha Genmaicha tea is a mix of the two, malty and herbaceous: Genmaicha is naturally sweet, warming due to the roasted rice, low in caffeine, and is used to accompany meals, while Matcha has a unique, "green" flavor, reminiscent of seaweed.

Properties of Japanese Matcha Genmaicha Tea

Matcha Genmaicha combines the properties of Bancha with those of Matcha, balanced by the sweetness and warming properties of the puffed rice. It is a tea rich in antioxidants and L-theanine, a relaxing molecule, purifying and slightly astringent. Although Bancha is low in theine, Matcha is particularly rich in it, so it is not a decaffeinated tea because Matcha increases the total caffeine of the infusion.

It is a great compromise to enjoy Matcha tea without having to go through the classic preparation process with the Chasen, the bamboo whisk used to mix the Matcha powder with water, and fully enjoy the properties of tea leaves.

Preparation

Matcha Genmaicha can be prepared with a classic infusion. Use water at 80°C, as with most green teas, and 1 gram of product for every 100 ml of water, with an infusion time of 2/3 minutes.
