Aiya Organic Matcha Infused Genmaicha | Organic Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea, Organic Genmaicha | 10 Count

There is a little disclaimer. You must like nuanced flavors. This won't punch you in the face like synthetically flavored tea. Also, this is not matcha, this is a green tea that is matcha infused. If you are looking for a matcha powder, this won't satisfy your requirements. But if you appreciate nuance, and want tea, this tea is something else. Stuff like this could be featured in a tea tasting activity in some tearoom.The aroma is not so much the star. It basically smells like Japanese green tea, mostly tart, with heavy marine notes, mingling with a little sweet matcha.The flavor is an absolute song though. It's like an all out war is happening between Japanese green tea and high quality ceremonial matcha, on a battlefield of warm citrus notes and a few faint marine notes.I brewed it per the instructions, 2 minutes in warm ~140°f water, not boiling.The color is an almost neon lime. But not quite neon, since it's not synthetic.There's a few things that are less than convenient. Although it's packed super well, the bag is not resealable without your own clamp. The matcha powder flows out of the porous teabags, caking everything in green powder. And you may need a variable temperature kettle to get close to the recommended temperature, instead of boiling water.In spite of this, it tasted so special to me that I am rating it 5 stars no question, and I am not in the bit upset with its price of about a dollar per bag.

This is for Aiya Organic Matcha Infused Sencha.If matcha is normally too overpowering for you, this is a good version to get you acclimated to the taste of matcha.It does have some matcha powder in it from what I can see, so be careful opening the bag. You can't keep it with other teas becuase the powder will get over other stuff. It's decent, a mild matcha taste with some of the sencha taste.

This is very light green tea, and it is vibrant green. It is so pleasant to look at!My first time trying gyokuro, my Japanese partner tells me gyokuro is the most expensive and rare, so I had to try it out. To be honest, I can't tell the difference! But whatever, it's good!I grew up drinking green tea all the time and sometimes have matcha. Since it's "matcha green tea" I wasn't sure what that meant, but the tea has some matcha powder in it (I think)as well as green tea leaves.The color is SO vibrant and green! It look so beautiful! it's subtle and mild which I found to be very delightful. It wasn't bitter and I could fully enjoy the flavor in every sip. My grandma always made the most heavy, shibui, bitter green teas for me so if that's what you like, you probably won't get that.I'll be completely honest though... the packaging kind of fooled me - the design and font didn't remind me of anything authentically Japanese so I was skeptical. But I'm a fan!! I can't wait to try more from this brand!

I have mostly tried cold matcha teas so wanted to give this a try. The taste itself is okay and was a bit better after I had added honey.The quality of tea bags was not that super though as these were very compress packed in the pouch. There was a bit of wasted material and very powdery residue as I tried to take out the individual tea bags. When steeping the tea I also noticed small particles settling at the bottom of the cup so the quality of tea used could be improved.Overall, this is an okay tea, I personally did not like the packaging it came in as it ended up with a bit of a residue when trying to get the tea bags out.

This review is for Aiya Organic Matcha Infused Genmaicha, 10 Count (Matcha Infused Genmaicha). Box says: made with organic ceremonial matcha, a refreshing toasty blend of Sencha, Macha & brown rice, net wt 20g (0.71 oz), 10 pyramid teabags, USDA organic, K symbol, produced in Japan. Preparation: steep 1 min in 1 cup hot water at 194F / 90C. The teabags come in a sealed inner pouch (not individually wrapped) and are pyramidal shaped with string and tag. The unbrewed teabags have a green tea, grassy aroma (do not smell of toasty brown rice). After steeping per directions, the tea tastes delicious, very smooth and grassy. There is not much taste of a traditional genmaicha (toasted rice flavor) and not as bold as some matcha.

Tastes good. Easy to mix.

When brewed, this tea has a really beautiful green color, but the flavor was much lighter than I was expecting. After brewing for an extra minute, I did find the flavor developed a bit better. It was still not as toasty as I was expecting, but very pleasant to drink. The teabags are the pyramid shape, with a string and a tag.The teabags come in a sealed inner pouch, but are not individually wrapped, so if you are not a frequent tree drinker, you may want to vacuum seal them or at least transfer into a zip top bag. and are pyramidal shaped with string and tag.

Nice, subtle and refreshing pick me up! This gentle matcha tea is easily portable and allows me to enjoy it on the go. Seems to be just as great as the powdered sort. Will definitely order again to always keep some with me for travel.
