Numi Organic Matcha Toasted Rice Tea Bags - 18/Box

Details

A robust and nutty tea with savory flavors and bright undertones, this Numi organic matcha toasted rice tea is a great accompaniment to any meal. This tea includes a blend of matcha and traditional Japanese green tea, pan-fried with toasted rice. Once brewed, it contains medium caffeine levels, great for kickstarting the day or providing an extra boost in the afternoon.

This Numi tea is perfect whether served hot or iced. To serve hot, boil one cup of water, allow it to cool slightly, then steep 1 bag of matcha toasted rice tea for 2-3 minutes. Once ready, it's strong enough to handle milk, yet mild enough to be served alone. To make iced tea, boil water, allow to cool, steep in 2 tea bags, and pour over ice.

As an alternative to brewing hot, try cold-brewing this tea. Cold brewing is the easiest way to make never-bitter iced tea with bright flavors. It works for any type of tea, too! Simply steep 4 tea bags in 3 cups of cold water for 8-10 hours in the refrigerator. Remove from the refrigerator and squeeze the tea bag before removing. Try adding in flavorful fruits or herbs for an unexpected infusion, or create a unique flavor by mixing different teas.
