Shizuoka Genmaicha Japanese Green Tea with Roasted Brown Rice

Genmaicha is Japan's beloved "popcorn tea" — a comforting blend of steamed sencha green tea and toasted brown rice. The roasted rice adds a warm, nutty, toasty dimension that balances the grassy freshness of the green tea, making it Japan's most approachable everyday tea. Some leaves even pop during roasting, giving the blend its nickname. Lower in caffeine than pure green tea, Genmaicha is a perfect all-day sipper with a uniquely satisfying, savory-sweet character.
