INGREDIENTS: Delicate Sencha tea (Japanese green tea) and toasted, popped brown rice GENMAICHA CAFFEINE LEVEL: Moderate STEEP at 180° for 2-3 minutes. Genmaicha (pronounced GEN-MY-CHAH) is an exotic Japanese green tea. Genmaicha is frequently referred to as "popcorn tea" because the roasted brown rice kernels often "pop" open during processing. Genmaicha Tea is a premium loose leaf Japanese green tea blend featuring sencha green tea and toasted, popped brown rice for a smooth, nutty cup with gentle sweetness and a warm, comforting finish. Often called “popcorn tea” due to the appearance of the roasted rice, this traditional Japanese favorite is known for its approachable flavor and naturally low astringency. Blended in Japan using high-quality sencha and carefully roasted rice, Genmaicha was originally created as an everyday tea that balances flavor, affordability, and comfort. The toasted rice softens the grassy edge of green tea, adding warm cereal-like notes that resemble fresh popcorn, toasted grain, and baked bread crust. The sencha provides a clean vegetal backbone that keeps the cup refreshing and balanced. When brewed, Genmaicha Tea produces a pale golden infusion with a cozy aroma of toasted rice, steamed greens, and light nuttiness. The flavor opens with warm roasted grain and soft popcorn-like notes, followed by gentle green tea freshness and a hint of natural sweetness. The finish is clean, smooth, and low in bitterness, making it one of the easiest green teas to enjoy daily. This blend is especially popular among those who find straight green tea too grassy or astringent. It’s also a comforting everyday tea in Japanese culture, often served in homes and restaurants for its mild flavor and satisfying character. Genmaicha is excellent for multiple infusions and remains smooth even with slightly longer steep times.
