Tarui Tea Farm: Genmaicha Powder

Genmaicha Powder from Tarui Tea Farm 

40g

Similar to matcha and hojicha powder, this genmai powder serves as an easy way to make genmaicha tea quickly (and drink 100% of the tea).

Tarui-san's Genmaicha is made with organic toasted rice and a blend of his deep-steamed organic, fukamushi, green tea. 

This powdered tea is wonderful for creating tea lattes, instant genmaicha as well as being fantastic in cakes, cookies and other dishes such as ocha-zuke.

About the farm:  A family-operated tea farm, factory, and shop established in 1970 in the small town of Nearai on the outskirts of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. 2nd generation farmer Takayuki Tarui cultivates multiple cultivars on separate fields on the flatlands of Nearai and in the mountains nearby. Growing organically since his father started the farm, Takayuki certified his farm and factory in 2003. He seeks to provide clean tea, deep-steamed, for those who love green tea.

Tarui-san's daughter, Ai, is currently learning to cultivate tea from her father and will inherit the farm. 

The farm has two lovey pet goats, Haiji-chan & Yuki-chan, who help with the up keep of the farm by grazing the unwanted weeds around the fields.
