Detailed Description
Japan, with its warm climate and ample rain, is a perfect environment for tea growing. Tea growing is thought to have begun here in the 8th century. While other countries grow their tea bushes on hillsides and pick teas by hand, Japanese gardens are meticulously planted in rows along hills close to natural water sources. Although some teas are hand-picked in Japan, most of the tea grown here is mechanically picked and processed using high tech machinery. Also, unlike other countries that designate their teas by regions or estates, Japanese teas are generally sold by styles.

Genmaicha Green tea is a mixture of a Sencha and popped Genmai (hulled rice kernels), yielding a light brown tea with very unique taste!

Brew tea at 175º - steep for 1 - 2 minutes.

DIFFERENT! 9/13/2020
GREEN TEA WITH A DISTINCT TASTE OF RICE! THIS TEA IS LIGHT AND SMOOTHER THAN MOST GREENS. IF YOU'D LIKE TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THIS IS THE ONE!

Excellent dinner tea 8/8/2017
I have been buying Genmaicha tea for years. This one is very fragrant, I enjoyed it a lot and would definitely buy it again. This tea works very well as a dinner tea, especially with Asian food. I recommend that you try it with sushi or even just grilled fish, veggies and rice, or any other Asian foods.

Best Green Tea 11/21/2016
This Genmaicha is very smooth, the rice kernels give it a unique flavor, which to me tastes a little nutty. Everyone I know that says they do not like green always love this tea when I brew it for them.
