Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese green tea blend made by combining steamed green tea leaves with roasted brown rice, creating a warm, toasty, and comforting flavour profile that has been enjoyed in Japanese households for centuries. Known as the “people’s tea,” it’s a soothing everyday drink - balanced, mellow, and grounding.

Genmaicha is crafted by taking high-quality green tea leaves (typically sencha), steaming them to preserve their fresh green character, and blending them with brown rice that has been roasted until aromatic and golden. The result is a tea that brings together the grassy freshness of green tea with the nutty, roasted warmth of rice.

Mezame Genmaicha is sourced from Kagoshima in Kyushu, Japan - an origin celebrated for its fertile, nitrogen-rich volcanic soils. This unique terroir gives the tea leaves exceptional depth, sweetness, and clarity. Combined with carefully roasted rice, our Genmaicha delivers a smooth, comforting cup that feels like a warm hug, morning or evening.
