Ingredients
98 % Green tea Japan Gen Mai Cha, 2 % Green tea Japan MATCHABrew & Taste
Genmanicha is light, slightly roasted, grassy and nutty. In contrast, Japanese matcha tastes sweet and mellow. When the two are combined, the result is a very pleasant drink that's light, sweet and with a roasted note. Its color is a bright green and its aroma is fresh.
Origins
Each of the ingredients is produced in a completely different way. Although both are Japanese in origin, their uses have varied greatly throughout history. Sipping matcha was a privilege of the highest echelons of society, while genmaicha used to be the drink of poor farmers.
Matcha is a very fine powder made by grinding tea leaves. It is used for rituals in which it is whipped with a bamboo whisk in hot water. The production of matcha is similarly complex: before harvesting, the tea plants are shaded for about 20 days to produce and store even more chlorophyll and amino acids in the leaves. The plucking is done entirely by hand, immediately after which the leaves are steamed, dried, de-veined and ground into powder in stone mills.
Genmaicha is essentially a blend of Japanese green tea and roasted rice. It is also called "popcorn tea" because when the rice is roasted, it sometimes pops and looks like popcorn. It is made from bancha, which are tea leaves harvested later in the season. They have a more robust taste and less caffeine content. After harvesting, the leaves are steamed, translated, dried and sorted. Finally, dark roasted rice is mixed with them.
