Our noble Genmaicha comes from Shizuoka Prefecture on the main island of Honshū. This region is known as the center of the Japanese tea trade. Unique soil conditions, combined with a mild climate, distinguish this region and promote abundant tea growth.

Our Genmaicha is a very high quality small leaf green tea, unlike the simpler large leaf Bancha tea usually used for Genmaicha. The natural rice is roasted with the utmost care to prevent the grains from opening. This care is reflected in the cup, through the tea's bright emerald color and its very aromatic notes. On the palate, the contrasting aromas of fresh green tea and the sweet and nutty notes of roasted rice elegantly unite in a harmonious combination.

Good to know...

Green tea is best brewed at 80–85°C (let the water sit for about a minute after boiling). For a perfect cup, let it steep for 2–3 minutes.
