About the tea
Genmaicha, a unique and delightful Japanese tea, offers a harmonious blend of tradition and taste. Crafted from Bancha tea, a robust and earthy green tea, Genmaicha is elevated by the addition of approximately 50% roasted or popped rice grains. This intriguing combination results in a tea that is both comforting and invigorating.
The mild, earthy character of Bancha provides the perfect canvas for the rice grains to shine. As the rice grains are roasted, they impart a sweet, nutty, and slightly caramelized flavour that dances on the palate. This delightful contrast creates a truly unique and satisfying tea experience.
Genmaicha’s low caffeine content and gentle nature make it an ideal choice for all-day enjoyment. Whether you’re sipping it in the morning to start your day or savouring it in the evening to unwind, Genmaicha offers a soothing and satisfying brew.
The Japanese, with their deep-rooted tea culture, often prefer Genmaicha for the afternoon hours. Its comforting warmth and pleasant aroma make it a perfect companion during those tranquil moments of the day.
