Japanese Genmaicha - Loose Leaf (4 oz)

A Japanese favorite dubbed "brown rice tea," Genmaicha blends mild bancha green tea with roasted popped brown rice and corn for extra sweetness. Prized for its warm nutty flavor, pale yellow liquor, and nutrient-packed profile (rich in minerals and micro-nutrients), this low-caffeine health tonic suits everyone—especially for recovery, fasting, or daily wellness.

The Blend

Rice starch lends natural caramel and barley sweetness, evoking roasted rice crackers like okaki. Roasty aromas mingle with the tea's light astringency and herbal bite, creating malty depth that lingers. Once "the people's tea" for the working class (rice stretched pricey leaves), it's now beloved across society as a soothing, stomach-friendly pick-me-up when exhausted or under the weather.

Brewing Recommendation

For roasty rice notes to shine: 175°F water for 3-5 minutes.

Try traditional Japanese style—start with more leaves at 175°F for 90-120 seconds, re-steep at 190°F for 30-60 seconds, and a thin third at boiling for 90 seconds.
