Genmaicha

Genmaicha, a unique blend of Sencha and roasted brown rice, is a testament to the art of tea-making. The name ‘Genmaicha’ is derived from the Japanese term for brown rice, reflecting its key ingredient. The process begins with soaking and steaming the brown rice, followed by roasting and popping, which amplifies its flavor and releases a comforting nutty aroma. This roasted rice is then harmoniously blended with Sencha leaves in varying ratios, creating a balance between the savory taste of the rice and the grassy astringency of the tea leaves.
The resulting brew is a healthful concoction, combining the benefits of both ingredients. The addition of brown rice also moderates the slightly high caffeine content of Sencha, making Genmaicha not just a flavorful experience, but a healthier choice as well.
