Nutty, savory, and smooth. Numi's Matcha Toasted Rice is a classic genmaicha-style blend of sencha green tea and toasted rice, brewing into a rich cup with earthy depth and bright undertones. This is a traditional Japanese tea style, savory and satisfying, good hot or cold, and gentle enough to enjoy later in the day thanks to its medium caffeine level. The sencha and matcha in this blend come from a single Verified Fair Labor farm in Zhejiang, China, where investments in worker health and safety ensure fair working conditions. Every tea bag is made from manila hemp (Abacá) fiber, sealed with a crimp-and-knot process instead of the plastic heat-seals used in most tea bags, so no polypropylene ever touches your cup. The bags are BPI Certified Biodegradable and supplier-verified free of added plastics or microplastics — not just labeled that way. The outer wrapper is plant-based and commercially compostable, made from FSC-certified paper and non-GMO sugarcane. Certified USDA Organic and Fair Labor Verified. Steep 2–3 minutes in hot, not boiling, water for a smooth, nutty cup.
