Genmaicha Japanese Green Tea

If you want a green tea that does not taste like every other green tea on the shelf, try our Genmaicha Japanese Green Tea. It is a traditional Japanese blend of high-quality green tea leaves and roasted brown rice, and the cup comes out nutty, aromatic, and genuinely satisfying.

The roasted rice is doing most of the personality work. It brings a nutty flavor and a hint of sweetness, which is why Genmaicha works so well for people who find plain green tea a little sharp. You still get the antioxidants and the usual green-tea benefits from the leaf itself.

Scoop it and you will see what I mean: green leaves mixed with small pieces of roasted brown rice, textured and colorful in the tin. The aroma matches, nutty with a lightly toasty edge.

Brewing is simple. Use one teaspoon of the tea in eight ounces of water at 180°F, and steep two to three minutes. You should get a light golden liquor with that nutty, toasty taste and a little sweetness from the rice.

We keep Genmaicha around because it is one of those everyday greens people finish faster than they expect. If that sounds like your kind of cup, learn more about Genmaicha on the product page and grab a bag when you are ready.
