How we recommend using genmaicha tea bags
1 genmaicha tea bag ⋅ 75-100°C ⋅ 200-300ml of hot (almost boiling water)
There are two ways to brew Genmaicha tea bags, depending on the kind of cup you’re after. For a smooth, balanced taste with gentle roasted notes, use water around 70°C and let it steep for a couple of minutes. If you prefer a stronger, heartier flavour that really highlights the nutty aroma of the roasted rice, go for boiling water instead — it’ll give you a bolder, more comforting brew.
