Description
Genmaicha originated centuries ago when Buddhist monks mixed green tea with the browned rice stuck to the bottom of their rice cauldrons in a gesture of humility and conservation. Soon after, tea vendors throughout Japan began blending sencha and bancha with roasted rice, creating a widely popular green tea that is perfect at breakfast time or as a daily drinking green tea for additional substance. Our Genmaicha is made with roasted sticky rice for a rich nutty sweetness that blends perfectly with the fresh flavor of sencha.

Something to Look Forward to Each Morning
Every morning I look forward to brewing this tea and taking some time to do nothing but sit and enjoy
...
it. The flavors transport me to a different setting for just a bit before I go off (log-into) to the office.

Classic green tea flavor
This is the perfect green tea for the uninitiated. The smooth flavor is enhanced with little bits of
...
roasted rice. People use the word nutty but it almost reminds me of a hint of corn or popcorn, closer to a grain flavor than a nutty flavor. I recently purchased a simple brew teapot and some genmaicha and I couldn't be happier. The low caffeine content allows me to enjoy a cup before bed!

Love this tea!
I really love this tea and wish it came in individual tea bags. I did get the matcha genmaicha tea which
...
is good also but I prefer the plain genmaicha.

A refreshing everyday green tea with a mild sweet flavor and pleasant roasted aroma
A premium, rich genmaicha infused with Japanese matcha for an extra creamy cup
Refreshing and brisk with a pleasant bitter-sweetness, deep umami flavor and a greenish-golden infusion color
An energizing blend of matcha and sencha with a deep sweetness and smooth, umami richness
