Our Genmaicha tea is a cozy blend of premium sencha green tea with toasted & popped rice and comes from Miyazaki & Kagoshima, Japan. This tradition of adding rice to green tea dates back centuries—as the colder months started to settle in, rice was added to the last tea harvest in fall to ensure there was enough to sip all winter. The warm character of toasted rice brings a subtle, nutty sweetness to your cup, balancing perfectly with the fresh vegetal flavour of sencha. This bulk-size bag contains 250 g of loose leaf tea.

Charlotte ★★★★★

I wasn't expecting the toasted rice to come through so clearly, it gives the sencha a warm nutty flavor that makes it feel like a treat without any sweetness. Steeping it for about two minutes was plenty. Cozy is honestly the right word for this one.

Adam ★★★★★

The popped rice actually floats up through the sencha, so every sip feels a little different depending on how much you catch. I've been drinking this every afternoon instead of coffee and it's oddly calming without being heavy.

Miles ★★★★★

The toasted rice gives it this nutty, almost popcorn-like smell the second you open the bag. I've been drinking it every afternoon instead of coffee and the sencha base stays smooth, never bitter, even when I forget and let it steep too long. Genuinely the coziest cup I've had in a while.
