Genmaicha Yukihime tea: the Chinese tea with roasted rice grains

Produced in China, Genmaicha Yukihime means "brown rice tea". Indeed, this preparation is a blend of Bancha or Sencha green teas and roasted wild rice grains. When this Chinese recipe is made with matcha (powdered green tea) and puffed rice, it is then called Matcha-Iri Genmaicha. After infusion, Genmaicha Yukihime develops nutty notes from the roasted rice and fresh grass from the green tea, which pair well with both sweet and savory dishes.

The benefits and virtues of organic Genmaicha Yukihime green tea

Genmaicha Yukihime, like all green teas, is rich in polyphenols sought after for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties. Long consumed in Japan, China, and India, green tea is appreciated for its taste, but also for its beneficial effect on hyperglycemia and bad cholesterol, thus promoting the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and obesity. Like coffee, black tea, and white tea, Genmaicha Yukihime green tea contains caffeine, known for its stimulating properties on both the nervous system and the brain.

Our tasting tips

How to prepare Genmaicha Yukihime tea?

The preparation of Genmaicha Yukihime tea is similar to that of all other Japanese or Chinese green teas, with a few minor details. Containing roasted rice, Genmaicha Yukihime should not be rinsed in order to keep all its flavor. According to one's preferences, this tea with a pleasant nutty taste can be consumed plain or with a splash of milk. To protect its flavor over time, don't hesitate to store your Genmaicha Yukihime in an airtight container.

How much Genmaicha Yukihime tea to use?

To obtain a balanced and fragrant tea, the Chinese use 12 to 15 grams of loose Genmaicha Yukihime leaves per liter of water. For a standard cup, you should fill your tea scoop or filter with about 3 grams of Genmaicha Yukihime: approximately 1 heaping teaspoon.

What is the ideal steeping temperature for Genmaicha Yukihime tea?

The success of an infusion is usually hidden in the details. Here's some information to reveal the unique taste of your organic Genmaicha Yukihime tea. For a perfect result, your roasted rice tea requires water at 70-80°C (158-176°F) and a steeping time of 2 to 3 minutes. Before preparing your Genmaicha Yukihime, don't forget to rinse your accessories, teapots, and cups with boiling water.

When to drink Genmaicha Yukihime tea?

Like Oolong or Wulong teas (blue-green teas), Genmaicha Yukihime tea is naturally low in caffeine. It can therefore be enjoyed at any time of the day and even in the evening without worrying about sleep quality. Its malty and vegetal flavor harmoniously matches the iodine notes of Maki or sushi and pairs perfectly with the sweet taste of desserts.
