Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese green tea blended with roasted brown rice, creating a distinctive, deeply comforting brew that balances fresh green brightness with warm, nutty richness. Often nicknamed “popcorn tea” due to the occasional puffed grains that resemble popcorn, it’s a tea that leans both nostalgic and quietly indulgent.
Our Genmaicha is made using Yabukita cultivar green tea from Fujieda in Shizuoka, blended with carefully roasted rice to create a smooth, full-bodied cup. The result is sweet and toasty, with a thick, rounded mouthfeel and a gentle savoury edge that makes it endlessly drinkable.
In the cup, it’s soft yet expressive, with layers of roasted grain, light umami, and a subtle sweetness that lingers. It’s a tea that feels grounding without being heavy, equally suited to slow mornings or an afternoon reset.
