Genmaicha is a Japanese specialty tea renowned for its delicately balanced, airy flavor and aroma. It was also called "poor man's tea" or "people's tea" because it reduced the price of a cup of tea by using rice as a filler. However, this simple blend of Sencha & toasted brown rice is now enjoyed by all Japanese and many other tea lover's around the world.

Steven ★★★★★

The roasted rice gives it such a mellow, nutty warmth that balances the green tea’s slight bitterness perfectly. I’ve been drinking it every afternoon, and the leaves are surprisingly fluffy and fresh compared to other genmaichas I’ve tried.

William ★★★★★

The toasty aroma from the roasted rice fills the kitchen as it steeps, and the flavor is surprisingly smooth without any bitterness. I've been making a cup every afternoon this week and find it light enough to enjoy without milk or sugar.

Lily T. ★★★★★

The roasted rice pieces give each sip a lovely toasty depth that pairs perfectly with the grassy green tea base. This is my new favorite afternoon pick-me-up, and the loose leaf format steeps really cleanly in my pot.
