Description

Japanese Genmaicha, a beautifully balanced blend of fine Japanese green tea and roasted brown rice. This unique tea offers a fresh, nutty aroma with a pleasantly mild and toasty flavour that’s both smooth and satisfying—like a warm hug in a cup.

Often called “popcorn tea,” legend has it that Genmaicha was created by Japanese tea farmers and monks who added roasted rice to stretch their precious green tea supply. What started as an innovative solution has now become a beloved staple in Japanese tea culture.

Perfect for a moment of calm, whether you enjoy it hot or iced, this tea is a gentle, grounding brew that pairs well with quiet mornings or reflective evenings.
