Genmaicha
Toasty and sweet with a refreshing bittersweetness, this traditional Japanese blend of roasted sticky rice and sencha brews into an easygoing cup that always hits the spot.
Genmaicha traces its roots to Japanese Buddhist monks who would pour green tea into the bottom of their cauldrons after serving rice so as not to waste even a single grain. From that resourceful practice came one of Japan’s most beloved and humble everyday teas: a rustic blend of green tea and roasted rice.
Our loose leaf Genmaicha blends hearty summer-flush sencha with roasted sticky rice for a perfectly balanced savory, nutty, bittersweet flavor. The starch from the rice naturally tempers the polyphenols in green tea, resulting in a wholesome cup that’s gentle on sensitive stomachs and ideal for easing into the day.
