Origin, Shizuoka, Japan

Genmaicha is a traditional, popular Japanese green tea. It is also known as 'Brown Rice Tea', as it is a blend of 'Steamed Green Tea' and toasted rice.

Mochi Gome

A special varietal of rice known as 'Mochi-Gome' is used in making Genmaicha. Upon roasting, (this varietal) develops a deep golden color and toasted. It sometimes 'pops' into white kernels similar to popcorn.

Organic Quality

High quality in Genmaicha is judged by the quality and grade of green tea leaves (high grades are made with select Sencha leaf) and with organic toasted rice. Both must be blended in proportions that provide a balanced flavor.

Flavor Profile

Earthy, nutty aroma with a smooth, mild savory taste.

Pairing

Genmaicha pairs especially well with breakfast breads, rice desserts and fruit pastries.

Brewing Genmaicha

Brew one level teaspoon of leaf in eight ounces pure, spring or filtered water at 180F for four minutes. Leaf can be reinfused two times.
