Description:

  • Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese green tea known for its distinctive flavor and appearance. Our Genmaicha blend consists of meticulously curated green tea leaves of the sencha and Bancha varieties, combined with roasted brown rice grains, which gives the tea its unique sweet and nutty taste. The name “Genmaicha” translates to “brown rice tea” in Japanese.

 

  • The process of making genmaicha involves mixing green tea leaves with roasted brown rice, often accompanied by popping the rice grains, resulting in a nutty, slightly toasted aroma and flavor. This tea has a pale yellow-green color and a mild, earthy taste with a hint of roasted rice sweetness. The rice also helps to reduce the caffeine content, making genmaicha a popular choice for those seeking a milder green tea option.

 

  • Genmaicha has become well-loved both in Japan and internationally due to its pleasant taste and the added dimension brought by the roasted rice. It can be enjoyed both hot and cold at any point throughout the day. Genmaicha remains a staple in Japanese tea culture and offers a unique and delightful tea-drinking experience.
