We can now offer organic tea varieties from this garden! Almost 75 % of all Rwandan cultivated teas come from small farms which have united in a cooperative called Assophte. The proportion of orthodox tea is not even 20 %, and this is why we are rather proud of this green tea rarity which grows at an altitude of approximately 1,800 m above sea level.The infusion unfolds the wiry, dark-green leaf and is scented with a slightly spinach-like aroma, which lingers on your palate for some time after tasting the tea. The cup color is a shining lime color.
Genmaicha means natural rice. This specialty is made from Bancha tea, to which approximately 50 % roasted or popped rice grains have been added. The incomparable taste is characterized by the mildness of the Bancha tea and is ideally complemented by the pleasant, slightly sweet and nutty caramel note. Thanks to the low caffeine content and the fine mildness, this tea can be consumed all day long. Also here, green tea beginners can make their first positive experience. The Japanese prefer this tea for afternoon consumption.
The Japanese traditionally drink this tea with their meals and it is considered a classic everyday tea. The large-leafed tea is taken from the lower shoots of the tea plant, which are rich in minerals, but contain up to 70 % less caffeine than Gyokuro teas, which are picked from young shoots. After infusing, the evenly worked leaf shows its real quality and fine structure. The taste is very soft, discreet and slightly grassy. The discreet note makes this tea perfectly suitable both for green tea beginners and green tea lovers.
There is an increasing demand for organically grown teas, so we selected this wonderful organic Genmaicha to be part of our new tea offerings. Genmaicha is often brewed in large bowls in Japan and the floating puffed rice are eaten as a small snack to accompany the tea. The puffed rice is called "blossom" or "flower" and can also be sieved out of the brew. Our blend comes from the Kagoshima Prefecture and is produced on farms around Kirishima.
Thanks to an excellent cooperation with our supplier, we were able to secure this popular tea from organic cultivation. The wonderful combination of classic Sencha leaf tea, mild Matcha and peeled, roasted rice is found in this lime-colored cup which spreads a pleasant scent of roasted notes. Delightfully smooth in taste, slightly sweet with some hints of caramel, this tea shows its true soul and is highly addictive for those who like a spiced sweetness.
