  • Description
  • Tasting Notes

Literally translating to "brown rice tea," organic genmaicha is a blend of loose leaf tea with genmai. But Mizuba's offering is a cut above the rest, and made by roasting gluten-free white mochi rice – which is sweeter and crunchier than regular rice. The genmai is mixed with bancha green tea that was gently steamed, rolled, and dried — resulting in a tea with a satisfyingly nutty taste and mellow, balanced sweetness. Treat yourself to one of Japan's most classic teas!

180-190ºF. Cooler temperatures will bring out more of the tea's sweetness, while hotter temperatures will extract nuttier flavors from the rice.

We recommend 1 - 2 minutes depending on your preference.

What is Genmaicha?

Genmaicha is a blend of loose leaf tea, usually bancha, with "genmai." Genmai is commonly brown rice, but Mizuba's genmaicha is made by roasting white mochi rice, which is crunchier and sweeter than regular rice.

The rice provides a satisfyingly sweet, nutty taste, which is balanced by the light green tea. Many say the aroma is reminiscent of popcorn! Originally enjoyed in rural areas, genmaicha's complementary flavors became exceptionally popular and it is now one of the most common Japanese teas.

Though accessible to all palates, our genmaicha is anything but pedestrian. Feel free to snack on the leftover rice!
