CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PURITY IN FOOD Eden Genmaicha Organic Sencha Green Tea — 3-Pack (16 Unbleached Tea Bags Each), Roasted

Eden Genmaicha Organic Green Tea blends hand-picked early-spring sencha leaves with slowly roasted organic short-grain brown rice for a smooth, comforting cup that’s perfect hot or iced.

Harvested on centuries-old plantations near Uji, Japan by the Nagata Co-op, this Genmaicha combines the bright, verdant character of high-grade sencha with the toasty, slightly sweet notes of organic brown rice. Grown in mineral-rich soil and shaded to encourage tender leaf growth, the tea uses first-spring leaves typically reserved for Gyokuro and Matcha, then finished by artisans who follow strict organic practices maintained for decades.

What makes this Genmaicha different from ordinary green teas?

This Genmaicha uses early-spring sencha leaves—often kept for premium grades—paired with authentic roasted organic short-grain brown rice. The rice adds a nutty, mellow balance that softens the tea’s vegetal edge, creating a rounded, easy-to-drink profile.

• Hand-picked first-spring leaves offering delicate, nuanced flavors
• Roasted organic short-grain brown rice for toasty sweetness
• Traditional shading and artisan processing by the Nagata Co-op
• No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or animal-based composts used

How should I brew it to highlight the flavors?

To bring out the tea’s smoothness and rice aroma, steep one tea bag in water just below boiling for about 60–90 seconds for a lighter cup, or 2 minutes for fuller flavor. Use fresh water and adjust steep time to taste; the tea also makes a pleasant iced tea when brewed a bit stronger and cooled over ice.

• Water temperature: 75–85°C (170–185°F) recommended
• Steep time: 60–120 seconds depending on strength preference
• For iced tea: brew slightly stronger, cool, then pour over ice
• One box contains 16 unbleached Manila tea bags; this listing is a 3-pack

Is this tea truly organic and sustainably grown?

Yes. The Nagata Co-op follows long-standing organic practices and rejected chemical agriculture decades ago. The plantation uses vegetal compost to enrich soil and protects new leaf growth with netting or bamboo screens instead of synthetic methods.

• Certified organic production with decades of organic stewardship
• No chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides
• Soil replenished with plant-based compost only
• Traditional shading methods and careful hand harvesting

What can I expect from the taste and occasions to enjoy it?

The cup is smooth and mellow with a clean vegetal backbone and subtle roasted rice sweetness that rounds the finish. Its balanced, uplifting profile suits quiet morning rituals, afternoon refreshment, or as a cool, revitalizing iced beverage.

• Flavor notes: verdant sencha, gentle umami, toasted rice sweetness
• Enjoy hot for a calming ritual or chilled as a refreshing iced tea
• Pairs well with light meals, grilled fish, or simple sweets
• Each tea bag is unbleached Manila for a cleaner steep
