fresh, wonderful tea
I'm a huge green tea drinker and stumbled upon Golden Moon's website quite by accident. I'm glad I did, too, because although their commitment to quality and purity was what initially attracted me, it was the tea itself that hooked me in...delicious!!
I also experienced a small confusion in my order, and they were more than accommodating and helpful to solve it. A first rate company!!

Love this tea!
Easily one of my favorite teas, I discovered this one in the sampler pack and ended up ordering more as soon as I ran out. Again, one of my favorite green teas!
Mary R. said:
The best Matcha!
Golden Moon's sampler package introduced me to this lovely tea and this is my third order of GENMAICHA MATCHA. The description is spot on - "Vegetal, sweet, and creamy". As a USDA Certified Organic farmer myself, I grow herbal teas, and appreciate the quality of Golden Moon teas (also love the Chai). What I can't grow comes always comes from Golden Moon!

My Favorite Green
There are 7 teas that I try to keep in my cupboard at all times. This is one of them. It is so warm and satisfying! Buttery. I've noticed that if I'm feeling hungry in the afternoon, this tea satisfies because of the round, umami flavor.
Stephanie Shafer said:
Great matcha!
Smooth and delicious, with deep notes from the toasted rice. Lovely flavor and color.

Green Tea Evening Drink
I saw a video on Youtube for an evening drink of green tea, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper, and honey. I saw this green tea matcha blend online and decided to buy some along with some Masala Chai. My evening green tea drink is very tasty, and I trust it will improve my health as advertised. I intend to try the green tea itself, also.
Marcie said:
Perfect
Great blend of matcha, green tea and toasted rice. I am a regular matcha drinker, and I find this tea to be subtle and smooth, with a kick of antioxidants and boost in natural energy. The toasted afternotes leave an exquisite umami flavor, yet not overpowering. If you are stepping into the world of matcha, this is a great way to begin. If you are a seasoned matcha drinker, this is an excellent version to treat yourself to on a lighter tip.
Caveat: make sure you follow instruction for temp and time of brewing. Matcha and most green teas will turn bitter if the water is too hot or you brew for too long. Should have a smooth umami flavor. Enjoy! 💚

Smooth and Yum
I purchased this green tea for its health properties but drink it often because it tastes so good. Smooth, not as delicate as most green teas, great flavor with no after taste.
Tammy Babbitz said:
Yummy
A smooth, delicious, buttery & slightly nutty cup of tea. Always one of my “go to” choices.
Anna said:
Ideal
the nutty aroma always grabs me - love this tea!
Doccyn said:
Delicious
Perfectly balanced green tea with the heartiness that I crave. It is very good hot or cold. It is the only tea I want these days. Should have ordered a bigger size.
Nita Doyle said:
Not a big fan. I don't really care for green teas . I thought I was ordering Madagascar vanilla when I ordered online. Not sure how I messed up my order. Hopefully I'll find someone who likes green tea.

Love the taste of Genmaicha. Lost my original source of it, Dutch to the Company closing. This is a very good one as well.
Connie 0Neal said:
Best tea yet
I decided I was quitting coffee and decided to drink tea instead. I ordered this tea along with a few others. I absolutely love the smell and taste of this tea. It’s earthy and drinking it makes me feel as though I am drinking the essence of our planet . I can’t really explain it any better.

The purest Genmaicha Matcha Tea
After even ordering from Japan, I am so happy to have found my favorite tea from Golden Moon. It is a beautiful fresh and smooth tasting Genmaicha Matcha that I enjoy daily. Perfect! I love it. Thank you.
Heather said:
Best green I've ever had
This tea is PHENOMENAL. I don't know if I can describe the flavor, other than to say, it absolutely knocks out of the park any other genmaicha or even green tea I've ever had. The flavor is SO delicious.
Patti Baker said:
Genmaicha Matcha - I’m in love!
So smooth and delicious. Third cup, second re-steeping, is just as satisfying as the first. Thank you, Golden Moon.
Scott Annechino said:
Delicious
This tea is delicious, and isn't that the point of drinking or eating anything? Nice clean, green flavor.
Definitely will buy again.
Carolee Jakes said:
Perfect start for the day
This tea is my favorite to drink before my early morning exercise. A nice strong flavor and clean finish.
JR said:
My favorite tea!
I love this tea. It’s my absolute favorite. It’s got a delicate flavor that’s so good and I could drink it all day (and sometimes do!)
I just got over a really bad cold and this tea was the only thing I wanted and made me feel better. This ones a keeper!
ANITA FLANTZ said:
Genmaicha Matcha
All of Golden Moon's green, oolong and black teas are wonderful. The rice gives the genmaicha matcha an especially fresh taste and the large Tie Guan Yin Oolong leaves are both delicious and a delight to look at.
Maria Dedet said:
Over the Moon Delicious
Love these teas! Unique blends and great flavors. We love the Early Grey to wake up, Matcha’s incredible taste and health benefits in the middle of the day, and Detox Mint-Ginger Blend at the end of day—soothing and comforting !
Rachel Franco said:
Love it
I ordered an Tie Guan Yin oolong, rooibos, and Tippy Earl Grey along with this Genmaicha, and this is my personal favorite! I love the flavor. Thanks, Golden Moon Tea!
Gail Brunt said:
Best tea ever!
I love these teas! I also bought the glass stove top pot for myself and a friend, and we both love it. No more worries about leaching metals from other pots. This is also a good value as I can always get 2-3 cups from each teaspoon of tea, and I seldom need any honey because the teas are so smooth.
Nate Hershey said:
Interesting and different
This tea has a deep flavor profile reminiscent of nori and rice to me. I like it as an afternoon pick-me-up and because it's matcha, it's full of antioxidants. It may not be for everyone, but I really love it!
Lee Ellen Wright said:
Great tasting tea
Enjoy this matcha tea in the morning or at night.
Michael Sergi said:

I guess I'm just not a fan of the matcha tea but with a spot of milk and honey it's not a bad tea. Kinda earthy tasting

Love the flavor and the beautiful color while steeping in my glass teapot from Golden Moon.
Also love the care that Golden Moon takes to offer such quality teas:)

I am addicted
Fantastic quality and great taste! I am so glad I found it here since I found it hard to get organic tea in this quality! I love the nutty taste and all the matcha in it - I am addicted!
Anne Jones said:
Heavenly
My first taste was heavenly. I have had a lot of tea, but this one is amazing. A little goes a long way. Well worth the extra money per oz. I love the fact that it is organic. Enjoy!
Lisa Christopher said:
flavorful
As I love the benefits of green tea, I ususally like a green black blend. This tea, however stands well on its own. I love it with cinnamon and honey, lemon and honey , and recently with ginger and raw cane sugar. I will also add it was refreshing as iced with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon. Glad I purchased two bags!!
Joann Sage said:
Yuck
I can't handle the smell or taste...guess i'm to used to the other green teas
Terry Barnard said:
I am the kind of tea drinker that adds cream & honey. Surprisingly, the matcha tea may stand alone. The taste is very soothing to my palate. My daughter & I have the golden moon teapot and the 2 cup red holder . Many mornings we boil the water, steep the teas and sip together. Having golden moon products has turned into a wonderful family affair. My daughter's last name is MOON. That attracted to your marvelous marketing. Wishing you great success.

I love this tea
This is the best tea I’ve ever had. It’s got a great flavor which is complex with the matcha and the taste of the toasted rice adding a richness. I love this tea and it’s the best start to my day!!!

I didn't care for the taste. It would be great without the brown rice.

I did not know what to expect, but it turned out to be a warm and inviting flavor.

Well its not what I expected so I'm mixing it with my Earl Gray:)

Enjoying the tea from GMT
The best part of my enjoying the tea from Goldenmoontea is not having to worrying about pollutants from pesticides, fertilizers, coal-burning, etc.

Tasty and good for you!
I love the flavor, it reminds me of popcorn. Green tea is so good for you. The toasted pieces of rice gives the green tea a nutty flavor. This is one tea I keep on hand always.

You won't be disappointed. Delicious.

My Favorite Tea for Afternoon Pick-Me-Up
This is my go-to tea for afternoons spent working at my laptop. Gives enough of a boost to concentrate but not keep me up at night. Golden Moon teas are always top quality, and I appreciate the real ingredients without artificial fillers.

Wonderful teas
I love the Genmaicha Matcha Green Tea. It is just wonderful--a must try.
Colleen said:
Green Tea Novice
I have known that green tea is healthy. The green teas that I've tried left me knowing I still need to hit the "good one" ...at least that kept the door open! It also has a very different taste. I don't have the temperature quite right because it's a little bitter, but it's getting closer. I like this Genmaicha Matcha better than anything I've tasted so far. This has a smooth (creamy?) taste that I haven't tasted before. I will drink more of this and I'm glad to have found it.
Aku Sika said:
It's green tea like you never had before!
Personally,
I love green tea! Green tea before this one is boring though. It's just green tea you know? . I hesitated buying because it was quite pricey.
But being a bug green tea fan because of all the benefits I decided to try it. And it was like I've never had it before! As soon as the hot water touched the tea, the aroma hit me! Warm, Toasty , creamy, pampering and so inviting !
N yes it's creamy and so full.
Only reason I'm giving it a 4 is that description said it had a bit of sweetness to it. I rather found it a bit bitter.
Could also be I'm brewing it wrong or too strong. I don't know what 160 degrees is. So I just almost boil the water aND pour it on.
In fact I'm about to go make me a cup.
Ps. It's worth the price.
I'll be buying it in little bits than 1lb at a time, but I'll still buy it!
Nicole Lawler said:
Yum!
I bought this in the sample size, and after cup 3, I had to buy the biggest bag available. This tea is delcious! It's flavor is very green, yet very creamy. The rice and Matcha compliment each other perfectly. High in antioxidants and just the right amount of caffine, perfect harmony in a cup! Just Love!
Robb S. said:
Best Green Tea ever
I first had this tea at a local coffee shop as I've been trying to choose coffee over tea. It's been a hard transition for me because I'm also dropping all forms of sugar. HOWEVER, THIS TEA DID IT FOR ME! I absolutely fell in love with both the taste and aroma of this tea. I asked them the brand, went home and looked it up, and ordered a 1/2lb bag. I've almost finished that, and just received my second bag for when I am done. The tea has such an earthy, toasty, smooth flavor and aroma. In fact, the aroma of this specific tea is a major factor in it's taste. As you drink it, be sure and breathe in through your nose as you are bringing the tea to your lips... it's such a delicious scent flavor!!!
I just picked up a bag of the Detox tea, and look forward to trying it.
Add all this to the fact that Golden Moon is committed to a chemical free product, and I will only be ordering tea from this website for a long time!

Next-Level Green Tea
I've loved Genmaicha since the moment we met, but this one in particular is amazing! That nuttiness from the toasted rice plays so well with the distinctive flavor of matcha and it brews up such a lovely shade of green. I'm going to need a bigger bag!
Linda S. said:
Pleasurable Cup Of Tea
I like the nutty aroma and flavor, plus it has lots of antioxidants.
Jennie R said:
Best Genmaicha Ever!
I love Genmaicha... its been my favorite tea for years, and I usually buy it in the local Asain market or more recently I have found it in organic tea bags. But I was curious to try the Genmaicha Matcha from Golden Moon and I am so glad I did. Its a whole other level of tea. Honestly, I can't even compare it to what I used to drink. Its got such a delicate flavor (but not bland in any way) and it just elevates what I've had in the past to a whole new level. I am hooked. And its not too caffeinated so I can enjoy a cup in the evening if I feel like it and not worry about getting to sleep - its not enough caffeine to bother me. I absolutely love this tea, and will be a customer for life!
Lucy Johnson said:
Awwsome
Awesome flavor and qualiTEA! Thank you!

Genmaicha Matcha
This tea is really delicious! I am somewhat of a Genmaicha snob so I was skeptical. And to mix it with Matcha was beyond comprehension. But it is superb. I drink it daily and am having some now, in fact.
Amy said:
Amazing!
I usually drink green tea for health benefits but find them to be dull compared to the robust black teas. That is not the case with this macha tea. The flavor is amazingly complex and delicious!
Nancy K said:
My favorite!
Love this tea! I never really liked matcha by itself but the combo of the genmaicha and matcha is really delicious!

Excellent
Finally a green tea without all the toxins! And the taste is impeccable. Thank you
Barbara said:
Wonderful!
Due to my issues with caffeine I now only order low & no caffeine teas. GM's teas are delicious. Like another reviewer, I do miss the rose. Plus, I really miss a couple of the greens (can't remember the names) that disappeared with your switch to totally organic teas.
Jenn G said:
Yummy!
GENMAICHA tea is one of my all time favorites, but with the added MATCHA... it's absolutely delicious! And so wonderful to have an option that is pesticide, chemical and additive free! Thank you!

This tea is so good. I am preferring it over the packaged singles in the stores. I drink a lot of green tea, I am going to need to get more soon. :)
