Brew the perfect cup of Genmai matcha green tea – hot or cold

Temperature, amount of leaf, type of water and steep time are important factors you need to get right to make the perfect cup of hot Genmaicha Japanese green tea. We recommend: Tea: 4g (0.14 oz. = 1 heaped tsp.), Water: 1 cup (200ml), Temperature: (80 - 90°C), Steep Time: 15 seconds. Genmai matcha Japanese tea can also be brewed cold. Add 6-7g of loose leaf green tea to a glass pitcher and fill up with 500-1000ml water. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours, strain the leaves then drink or store in the fridge for later.
