Shizuoka Matcha Genmai-cha (100% Japanese Brown Rice Tea (Pack of 1)

I am sure there are Better Tasting GENMAI CHA made from JAPAN Sourced Tea and Rice, but you will PAY A LOT MORE for it, and imho, I am VERY HAPPY with this version... even if it is Packed In LOS ANGELES, CA... I don't care... the QUALITY, PRICE, AVAILABILITY, 2-day AMAZON DELIVERY, and END RESULTS are GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. This is my 4th Order now, and I can STILL TASTE THE SAME QUALITY I wanted and experienced from The FIRST TIME I tried this. "Masuda-en Tea Farm, in SHIZUOKA Province, Japan, a famous Tea Farming Region where MOST of the TEA from Japan is Produced and Shipped Overseas". You can tell from the PHOTO, showing Mt. Fuji in the distance, this is taken on HONSHU, where SHIZUOKA Prefecture is located. Japan only produces about 90 Million Tons of the World's TEA... Mainland China produces over +100Billion Tons of the World's TEA, but it also has much more incidents of FRAUD and VERY POOR QUALITY too. AND, Japan uses almost 100% MACHINE AUTOMATED PROCESSING of their Tea, so the Variability is almost ZERO, and the QUALITY and STANDARDS are almost 100%... with virtually ALL MACHINES doing the Tea Processing... including Measuring, Bagging, Sealing, and BOX'ing of the FINAL PRODUCT. COMPUTERS CONTROL JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING in JAPAN. CHINA still does MOST of it's Tea Processing MANUALLY... subject to BIG VARIATIONS in QA and Results... you MIGHT GET GOOD TEA, and you MIGHT NOT... it's The ROLL OF THE DICE... depending on HUMAN Hands. So, just be aware of that!!! I am NOT saying CHINA cannot produce GREAT TEA's.. they CAN and DO... but what are the changes of YOU getting one? It is MUCH LESS than getting it from JAPAN. This TAKAOKAYA Genmai-Cha Tea is an excellent example of that. I cannot detect ANY Variations in ANYTHING about this item... including the MACHINE SEALING of the Package. And the actual Genmai-Cha Tea is to DIE FOR!!! Sign Me UP... !!! v/r, "The TEA Spectator"

Exceptional for pre-bagged (and frankly even by loose standards). Sushi Nakazawa, a michelin starred spot in DC, actually uses this as their closing beverage, which is how it ended up on my radar. Boy am I glad it did. It's lighter caffeine than a full green tea, and I find a minute steep time is plenty for a first round steep (it's good for two IMO). I love it as a late afternoon tea to get me to the end of the day with a gentle pep that doesn't leave me worrying I'll be too amp'd for sleep later.

Finaly found this tea in Amazon. I am no longer able to find this tea in the Asian grocery so I decided to look in Amazon. This tea has matcha and japanese brown rice flavor which gives a wonderful aroma and I find is much better than just the regular green tea. Will definitely order again.

Best Green tea!! We tried this tea in New York at an ethnic Ramen Japanese restaurant and found it on Amazon. Must buy!! It has a nutty flavor! Love it!

This tea is ok, but doesn’t taste as other Match Genmai-cha. I guess you get what you paid for. I wouldn’t bother purchasing again.

Good flavor. Drink it every night

We have ordered this tea on repeat. We love that it comes in such a huge package. It's very soothing and has a lovely aroma.

I'm not big on herbal teas, but I do like matcha tea. It's green tea with matcha, which is made from brown rice. I first had this tea in a Japanese restaurant and asked where I could get it. Right away he said Amazon. Now we drink it at home every day.

It is very difficult to source here in Toronto, Canada, so Amazon charges 4x what the usual price is. I love it, but not sure how long I'll continue to pay Amazon's prices.

Intento cambiar de café a té verde y este es POR MUCHO el mejor té que he probado. Delicioso y la energía que me da es increíble. Altamente recomendado

Un thé de qualité avec des sachets qui protègent la fraicheur Ce thé est exceptionnel avec une petit gout fumé et excellent pour la santé !

Love this tea! I drink a cup almost every day and I never get tired of it.

Really good taste.made in Japan.
