Genmaicha (First Flush)

Genmaicha: The Perfect Fusion of Freshness and Roasted Goodness 🍚🍃

A Sip of Japanese Tradition
Genmaicha, often referred to as "Popcorn Tea," is a traditional Japanese blend made of high-quality Sencha tea leaves and roasted puffed brown rice. With its warm, comforting aroma and flavourful combination of toasted grains and the fresh, grassy notes of Ichibancha tea (the first harvest of the year), this tea offers a delightful and satisfying experience. Known for its balance between the robust and the delicate, Genmaicha is the perfect everyday tea.

Unlike most commercial Genmaicha blends made from low-grade tea leaves, we proudly offer a premium Uji Genmaicha, made from Ichibancha tea grown in the esteemed Uji region of Japan, renowned for producing some of the finest teas in the world. This blend has been carefully curated to bring out the full richness of roasted grains and the refreshing taste of Sencha, creating a uniquely smooth tea.
