Genmaicha

Genmaicha green tea, often called the “people’s tea” in Japan, is a unique blend of green tea and roasted brown rice that dates back centuries. One origin story of Genmaicha is that a Samurai’s servant accidentally dropped grains of brown rice in his master’s tea and the Samurai loved it. Others think that it was a frugal 15th century housewife that wanted to make her tea stretch. Happy accident or not, we love Japanese genmaicha tea for its sweet toasty aroma.

This Japanese rice tea offers a comforting, toasty aroma balanced with the fresh, grassy taste of green tea. With naturally low caffeine, it can be enjoyed any time of day - making it a perfect everyday tea. Japanese monks traditionally drink genmaicha green tea after fasting, as it is packed with nutrients and antioxidants while remaining gentle on the stomach.
