GENMAICHA | Japanese Genmaicha Green Tea

Japanese Genmaicha Green Tea - Nutty, Sweet, and Comforting

Genmaicha literally “brown rice tea”, is a beloved everyday blend in Japan - made from sun-grown Sencha green tea leaves and roasted dessert mochi rice. Originally created to stretch expensive tea by adding rice, it became a classic for its satisfying flavor and balance of warmth and freshness.
Known as “Geisha’s breakfast”, Genmaicha is naturally lower in caffeine and helps to reduce hunger cravings - making it ideal for gentle mornings or mindful daytime breaks.
