Genmaicha Green Tea – Camellia sinensis

Genmaicha Green Tea is a traditional Japanese loose leaf tea made from Camellia sinensis blended with roasted rice. It is best known for its balanced flavor, combining the fresh, grassy character of green tea with a warm, toasted rice note. The aroma is light and toasty, and the cup is typically mellow, smooth, and mildly nutty.

This tea is commonly enjoyed as a daily hot beverage and is appreciated for its comforting, easy-drinking profile. Genmaicha is prepared like other loose leaf green teas, with a gentle brew to preserve its clean taste and delicate aroma. It is a popular choice for drinking on its own and pairs well with simple meals and light snacks.

How to Use

• Hot tea: Steep in hot water for a short time to bring out the green tea and roasted rice notes.
• Loose leaf brewing: Use in a teapot, infuser, or tea strainer for a clean, traditional cup.
• Food pairing: Serve with rice dishes, light savory foods, or simple sweets.
