A warm, nutty blend of roasted brown rice and sencha green tea, elevated by vibrant Shizuoka-grown matcha. Traditional genmaicha meets a twist of matcha—expect a smooth, lightly toasted flavour with soft, popcorn-like aromas and a silky green depth. A gentle balance of earthy warmth and refreshing sweetness in every sip.
Genmaicha Matcha is a harmonious blend of green tea, roasted rice, and finely powdered matcha, rooted in Shizuoka’s renowned tea-growing region. The dry leaf offers a rustic mix of toasted grains and verdant dusting, while the brewed cup shines a creamy green. With a light body and low bitterness, this tea provides an approachable entry to Japanese green teas. Its low-to-moderate caffeine content makes it ideal for gentle energy and focus, supported by naturally occurring L-theanine and antioxidants. Long appreciated by tea lovers, it’s a soothing choice for sipping at any time of day.
Brewing
Use 1 tsp per cup or 1 rounded tsp per person for a teapot. Pour freshly boiled water, cooled to 70-80C, over the leaves and infuse for 1-2 minutes.

t leaf T’s Commitment to Sustainable Packaging
At t leaf T, we're committed to reducing our environmental impact.
Why Do We Use Stand-Up Pouches?
Our stand-up pouches are made from soft plastic with a thin foil lining. This lining acts as a crucial barrier against light, moisture, and air, ensuring our teas stay fresh and flavorful throughout their shelf life.
In addition to protecting our teas, this type of flexible packaging is more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional rigid packaging. Here’s why:
- Space-saving: Stand-up pouches ship, store, and dispose of flat, reducing the materials needed to produce them.
- Lower carbon footprint: They require less CO2 to manufacture and transport.
- Efficient design: We print directly on the pouches, eliminating the need for extra labels and further reducing waste.
Why We Don't Use Compostable Packaging
We understand the desire for fully compostable packaging, and we’d love to offer it. However, after extensive testing, we’ve identified two key challenges that prevent us from switching:
-
Limited disposal options: Compostable packaging isn't accepted in council kerbside collections and isn't recyclable, meaning it usually ends up in landfill.
-
Compromised tea quality: Biodegradable and compostable pouches degrade over time, even in storage. Teas need robust protection from light, moisture, aromas, and oxygen to maintain their freshness and flavour. During our tests, we found that compostable packaging allowed cross-contamination of aromas, especially in blends like Chai and English Breakfast. The result? A noticeable reduction in quality, which is unacceptable for our premium teas.
Given these issues, we’ve made the decision to stick with stand up pouches that ensures the highest quality and food safety for our teas.
Looking Forward to a Greener Future
At t leaf T, we're always on the lookout for better, more sustainable packaging options that don’t compromise on quality. Rest assured, we're committed to finding a solution that meets both our environmental goals and your tea standards.
