Marukyu Koyamaen's Miyako no Yuki Genmaicha is a blend of steamed sencha (green tea leaves) with roasted hard brown rice. The hard brown rice lends a warm, toasty flavour similar to roasted barley. The refreshing lightness of the sencha and the savoury umami from the roasted brown rice is balanced and deep. The genmaicha is palate cleansing and a good accompaniment to a heavier meal.
Marukyu Koyamaen's '丸久小山園', history spans 300 years, and epitomises a commitment to quality in tea production. Located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, this esteemed tea grower, procurer, and blender boasts a private estate dating back to 1704. Their range of Japanese green teas are meticulously crafted through a combination of traditional and modern techniques and remains unparalleled in the world of Matcha making. Favoured by the tea schools, shrines, temples and widely seen in the kitchens of some of the world's best restaurants and hotels, the Marukyu Koyamaen name today is far reaching and widely recognised.
