Green tea Genmaicha

Genmaicha Green Tea is a traditional Japanese blend of sencha green tea with roasted brown rice. It has a light nutty aroma, a mild, toasted taste, and a low caffeine content, making it suitable for drinking at any time of the day.

The taste of the drink is nutty, toasted, soft, with a slight herbaceousness. The aroma is rich, warm, with rice notes. The infusion is light golden, transparent, which gives comfort and coziness.

How to brew Genmaicha green tea (modern and traditional method):

1. Use 1 tsp. tea leaves per 350 ml + 1 spoon per teapot.
2. Water temperature is 80–85°C (for the modern method) or 75–80°C (traditionally in Japan).
3. Steep for 1.5–2 minutes (or even 1 minute for a milder flavor).
4. Brew 2–3 times — each time the flavor will reveal itself in a new way.
5. For a premium version, you can add a little matcha powder — this gives it an even brighter color and flavor (this option is called sase-genmaicha).
