Genmaicha

 Genmaicha is a toasty, nutty Japanese tea which blends sencha green tea with roasted brown rice for a cup that’s comforting, distinctive and quietly addictive.

Expect buttery popcorn notes, warm cereal sweetness and soft umami depth, with a clean finish that stays soothing rather than grassy or sharp. Golden-green in the cup, it’s the kind of tea that feels like a snack and a reset at the same time (in the best possible way).

A perfect everyday green tea when you want something cosy, savoury-sweet and beautifully easy to drink.
