  Clearspring Organic Matcha Genmaicha is a harmonious blend of Japanese green tea, rich and exquisite premium Matcha and delicately roasted brown rice. It is made by our Japanese expert tea producers in the luscious rolling hills around Kyoto and Kyushu. It delivers a deep and unique nutty taste, some even say a ‘popcorn-like’ flavour, as all three ingredients converge to create a rewarding and delicious Japanese tea experience.

  What is Matcha?

  Matcha is finely ground green tea leaf powder and is the most prized amongst Japanese teas. It has been drunk as part of the tea ceremony for 900 years as well as by Buddhist monks during long days of meditation.

  This very concentrated form of green tea is drunk as a fine powder diffused in liquid so you actually ingest the whole leaf, consuming every last bit of goodness.

• Third Generation Tea Family from Kyoto, Japan

  In the hills around Kyoto, the third generation of the Nagata family use special organic methods, known as Nature Farming, to produce a range of exquisite green teas for Clearspring.

  The ancient farming approach used by the Nagatas builds up soil vitality by maintaining a semi-wild environment, where the plants are not overly protected and gain nourishment from repeated applications of compost made from tea clippings and dried leaves, which together with regular mulching helps control weed growth and maintain soil moisture.

  Whilst most tea farmers spray their plants with pesticides and herbicides 15-20 times a year, the Nagatas' tea bushes have a vigour that enables them to thrive without chemical inputs.

  The Nagatas' yields may be lower than average but their plants have far less mould and blight. They remain productive for up to 40 years, twice as long as the typical tea bush treated with chemicals.

  As well as growing tea, the Nagatas undertake the skilful blanching, drying and roasting processes to bring out the unique flavours of each individual blend.
