Genmaicha, Samovar-style. Japanese matcha powder blended with toasted brown rice and steamed green tea. A meal unto itself. Cereal-like and nutty, a touch of grassiness, and the ultimate for breakfast.

Fantastic when you get it right January 28, 2013
Reviewer: Anne from Berkeley, CA United States  
Over steep Samovar's Ryokucha and it tastes like old grass clippings and burnt toast. Get it right, though, and you are rewarded with a lovely, aromatic infusion with a nice, light green grassy taste and a bit of toasty depth. Mind you, I'm much pickier than the other reviewers, so for me 30 seconds was too long. A small amount of tea and 15 seconds of steep time are all that's needed, after which the leaves can be resteeped at least 3 more times. The Vivid Brewpot is the perfect vessel, with water at 160 degrees F for the best experience. And a lovely experience it is. This is, so far, my favorite genmai cha.

Great wakeup! May 24, 2009
Reviewer: Cole M from Ontario, Canada  
Recently ordered a plethora of teas from Samovar and this was by far my favourite. Nutty, aromatic and just a  beautiful looking tea. A great one to show off to your friends. If the tea settles in the pot the last bit makes a wonderful dark-green shot of healthy goodness!

Just ordered another 2 large cans...should have made it 3 or 4!

First try of a Samovar tea scores big! May 18, 2009
Reviewer: Paul T. from Scottsdale, AZ  
I was surprised by how richly the Ryokucha brewed in both taste and color.  I wasn't used to the short prep time, but I'm glad I followed the label's instructions explicitly and only steeped for 2 minutes. The color was a deep, opaque grassy green. The fragrance was bright and "meadowy" with a touch of toast, probably from the roasted rice. This tea is very hearty and will be added to my regular rotation.
