Description
The Art of the Toasted Grain
Genmaicha has humble beginnings as a “people’s tea,” but it has evolved into a beloved specialty worldwide. By blending steamed green tea leaves with roasted and popped brown rice, this tea creates a sensory experience unlike any other—bringing together the freshness of the garden and the warmth of the hearth.
A Symphony of Flavors
-
Aroma: An irresistible fragrance of toasted grains, roasted nuts, and a hint of sweet oceanic air.
-
Taste: The infusion is a soft, misty yellow. On the palate, it offers a mellow, rounded flavor. The natural bitterness of the green tea is softened by the creamy, savory sweetness of the rice, reminiscent of toasted cereal or roasted corn.
-
Texture: Smooth and comforting. It has a “fuller” feel than plain green tea, making it incredibly satisfying.
The Perfect Daily Ritual
-
Anytime Comfort: Lower in caffeine than pure green tea, it’s a wonderful choice for the afternoon or as a relaxing evening cup.
-
The “Satiety” Tea: In Japan, it is often enjoyed to curb hunger or accompany a light meal, thanks to its rich, savory “umami” profile.
-
Family Favorite: Its friendly, approachable taste makes it a great “gateway” tea for those new to the world of Japanese greens.
