Samovar Ryokucha

This ryokucha is delicious! It is like genmaicha on crack. In addition to the standard genmaicha—which is a blend of genmai (toasted rice) and sencha (japanese green tea)—this ryokucha is blended with matcha powder. The matcha expands the flavor with a vibrant earthiness and paints the tea a rich green.

This is a perfect everyday tea for beginners and experts alike.
