Description

Genmaicha (玄米茶) is a traditional Japanese-style tea blending roasted brown rice with green tea leaves. Known in Japanese tea culture as 'popcorn tea' for the occasional puffed rice grains that open during roasting, Genmaicha has been prized for centuries as a warming, comforting daily brew that softens the briskness of green tea with the toasty, nutty aroma of roasted rice. Its character is gentle, slightly sweet, and deeply soothing, making it an approachable tea for both casual drinkers and those seeking a lighter, less astringent green tea experience.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch presents a pleasing contrast of pale green tea leaves and golden-brown roasted rice grains. The dry tea carries a warm, toasted, popcorn-like aroma.
