Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha Trio Set
Over 300 years of history making the highest quality Japanese tea, Marukyu Koyamaen is a highly regarded tea grower, procurer and blender located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto. The company’s private tea estate has a rich history dating back to 1704.
This trio set brings together three classic Japanese teas: Genmaicha (玄米茶), Hojicha (ほうじ茶) and Sencha (煎茶). Each offering a distinct flavour and character.
Genmaicha is a blend of green tea and roasted brown rice, known for its light yellow hue and gentle, nutty flavour. The toasty aroma of the rice balances the fresh, leafy notes of the tea, creating a mild and comforting cup that pairs well with rich or savoury dishes.
Hojicha is roasted at high temperatures, transforming the leaves into a warm brown colour and developing a smooth, toasty flavour with very little bitterness. It is an approachable tea with a naturally sweet aroma, making it easy to enjoy throughout the day.
Sencha is the most commonly enjoyed tea in Japan, made by steeping whole tea leaves. It has a bright, refreshing flavour with umami notes, a mild bitterness and a clean, lingering sweetness.
Together, these three teas offer a simple way to explore the range of everyday Japanese tea. A great way to explore Japanese tea, perfect for tea lovers or as a gift.
