Shizuoka Genmaicha – Japanese Green Tea with Roasted Brown Rice
Price range: $4.90 through $34.00
Origin: Shizuoka, Japan
Genmaicha traces its origins back to the 15th century when a servant named Genmai accidentally dropped brown rice into his samurai master’s cup of green tea. Despite his anger, the master decided to taste the blend and was pleasantly surprised by its harmonious flavors. Impressed, he spared Genmai’s life and named the tea “genmaicha” in his honor. Crafted with care in Shizuoka, our top-quality Genmaicha combines green tea with roasted rice to deliver a rich and nutty flavor profile. With its fuller body and enhanced sweetness, our Genmaicha is a delightful choice for daily enjoyment and pairs perfectly with meals.

This tea is just beautiful to look at. A gorgeous combination of green, brown and white. The taste is amazing and better than what you would expect from Genmaicha tea. Surely a high quality premium tea, I enjoy this very very much!
