You don't know Japanese tea until you try really nice Japanese tea, and here's your chance! This is a bag of genmaicha so it's a blend of sencha green tea, Uji matcha, and roasted mochi rice. It's earthy, aromatic, and soft. This bag contains 10 tea bags each filled with 3g of genmaicha.

Directions: Bring water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, remove from heat and wait 30 sec. Pour the hot water into your teacup or mug and wait 30 sec. Add the tea bag. Steep for 1 minute and enjoy. For the second serving: pour hot water over the used tea bag and then immediately enjoy. Repeat for a third serving.

Pro-tip: Japanese green teas will taste bitter if you use water that's too hot. If you prefer a milder taste, brew at slightly lower temperatures.
