$25.00

Genmaicha is a blend of Sencha green tea and roasted brown rice, traditionally enjoyed as an everyday tea in Japan. It has a comforting, savoury character with nutty, popcorn-like notes balanced by the freshness of green tea.

The Story of Genmaicha: 

Its origins trace back to Japan’s Edo period, between the 17th and 19th centuries. During times of economic hardship, rice was precious and green tea could be expensive. Adding roasted rice extended the tea supply, making it more accessible to households of modest means. But beyond its delicious popcorn flavour, Genmaicha reflects something deeper. It is a tea of reverence. Reverence for resources. Reverence for simplicity. Reverence for making enough, be enough.

Ingredients: Sencha green tea leaf (naturally contains caffeine) and roasted brown rice.

Dose: Steep 1 teaspoon per cup of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Enjoy as is.

Therapy: Genmaicha provides the antioxidant benefits of green tea, including catechins that support cellular protection and metabolic health, while the roasted brown rice offers a grounding, gentle quality that can soothe digestion. Its lower perceived bitterness and moderate caffeine content also make it a calming, supportive tea for daily use.
