For cafés building a genmaicha latte, for home bakers adding Japanese rice-tea flavor to desserts, or for anyone who wants genmaicha's warmth in an easy-use format, Genmai Powder is the practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Genmai Powder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike loose-leaf genmaicha, which requires steeping and straining, Genmai Powder dissolves directly into liquid - making it far more versatile for café, culinary, and convenience applications. It is the powder equivalent of a culinary matcha in function, but with genmaicha's distinct nutty, rice-forward character rather than matcha's green and umami profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Shogyokuen's production level, the Uji green tea base ensures the powder has a cleaner, more balanced character than commodity genmaicha powders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTaste Profile (in latte)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthfeel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light to medium, smooth\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutty, toasty roasted rice, gentle grassiness\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Short, warming and slightly sweet\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use Genmai Powder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatte:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-5g per 150ml steamed milk.

It dissolves directly into liquids, making it convenient for lattes, smoothies, and baking without the need for steeping and straining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs genmai powder the same as matcha?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Matcha is made from shade-grown, stone-ground tencha (pure green tea). Genmai powder is ground genmaicha - a blend of green tea and roasted rice. They have very different colors (matcha is vivid green, genmai powder is pale brown-green), characters, and caffeine levels. Genmai powder is much lower in caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I make a genmaicha latte?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3-5g genmai powder dissolved in 30ml hot water, whisked smooth.

Lower caffeine than matcha or straight green tea, due to the rice content and the tea grade used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Standard genmaicha FAQ boilerplate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/th\/products\/genmai\"\u003eGenmai\u003c\/a\u003e - loose-leaf genmaicha for traditional brewing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/th\/products\/premium-genmaicha\"\u003ePremium Genmaicha\u003c\/a\u003e - higher-grade loose-leaf option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/th\/products\/houjicha-powder-deep-roast\"\u003eHoujicha Powder Deep Roast\u003c\/a\u003e - roasted tea powder for comparison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shogyokuen","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":47868861055133,"sku":"SHO-GMP-100P","price":220.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":47868861087901,"sku":"SHO-GMP-250P","price":492.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":47868861120669,"sku":"SHO-GMP-500P","price":875.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000g","offer_id":47868861153437,"sku":"SHO-GMP-1000S","price":1555.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0347\/1228\/9412\/files\/Genmai-powder-100g.jpg?v=1777113222","url":"https:\/\/chasekitea.shop\/th\/products\/genmai-powder","provider":"Chaseki Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
