Ocha & Co. Organic Genmaicha Loose-Leaf Japanese Green Tea, 100g — Sencha + Roasted Brown Rice & Matcha, Small-Batch Vacuum-Sealed

Ocha & Co. Organic Genmaicha is a premium loose-leaf Japanese green tea that blends high-grade sencha with roasted brown rice and a touch of matcha for a bright, nutty cup.

This loose-leaf Genmaicha combines carefully harvested, organic sencha from Shizuoka with toasted whole-grain brown rice and a dash of matcha powder. The result is a tea that balances vegetal sencha character with warm, toasty rice notes and an inviting green hue. Packaged in small weekly batches and vacuum-sealed, the 100g pouch aims to preserve aroma and freshness for the home tea drinker or anyone exploring authentic Japanese blends.

What makes this Genmaicha different from ordinary roasted rice teas?

Instead of using low-grade leaves or dust, Ocha & Co. starts with premium organic sencha, then mixes in roasted whole brown rice and matcha powder to lift flavor and color. The emphasis on quality leaf changes the tea’s depth and mouthfeel compared with inexpensive Genmaicha.

• High-grade organic sencha as the base for cleaner vegetal notes
• Whole-grain roasted brown rice for a genuine, nutty aroma
• Matcha powder added for brighter color and subtle umami
• Small-batch production and vacuum sealing for extended freshness

How does it taste and how should I brew it?

The cup presents a mild, grassy sencha backbone with warm, toasted brown-rice undertones and a hint of matcha sweetness. Brewing gently preserves the tea’s delicate balance without bringing out excessive bitterness.

• Recommended: 2–3 g tea per 180 ml water (about 1 teaspoon)
• Water temperature: 70–80°C (160–175°F) to avoid astringency
• Steep time: 30–60 seconds for the first infusion, slightly longer for subsequent brews
• Multiple infusions: leaves hold flavor across 2–3 short steeps

Where does this tea come from and how is it grown?

The leaves are sourced from organic fields in a mountainous region of Shizuoka known for its favorable tea-growing climate. Growers follow organic practices and blend the sencha with roasted rice and matcha under the oversight of experienced blenders.

• Grown in Shizuoka’s elevated tea plantations with ideal humidity and soils
• Certified organic cultivation methods used by local producers
• Blended by expert tea blenders to ensure consistent flavor profiles
• Packaged in small weekly batches to maintain peak quality

How is the product packaged and stored to stay fresh?

Ocha & Co. vacuum-seals each 100g pouch shortly after blending to lock in aroma and slow oxidation. This method, combined with small-batch ordering, helps the loose-leaf Genmaicha arrive fresh and keep its character in your pantry.

• Vacuum-sealed pouch for reduced air exposure
• 100 g / 3.5 oz size suited for regular home use or sampling
• Store in a cool, dark, dry place away from strong odors
• Reseal pouch promptly after opening to preserve freshness
