Japanese Green Genmai Cha

A beloved Japanese classic, Genmaicha blends green tea with roasted brown rice for a warm, nutty flavour that is both moreish and delicate. This version uses a bancha base, a coarser green tea made from mature leaves, which brings a mild, low-caffeine profile and a soft, straw-like sweetness to the cup.

The roasted rice (sometimes called "popcorn tea" for its delightful popped kernels) adds a golden, toasty aroma and a deliciously savoury depth that pairs well with sweet desserts. Smooth, satisfying, and easy to drink at any time of day, this is the ultimate comfort tea, ideal for moments when you need something soothing but full of character.
