Category: Japanese

This classic Japanese green tea is blended with toasted popped rice to create a lovely warm and nutty taste and delightful savoury notes. Sencha Genmai is smooth and mild, but full of delicious flavours, and is perfect for those looking for a less astringent green tea.

Also known as "popcorn tea" due to the popping sound the roasted rice makes when brewed, Sencha Genmai tea was first produced by monks in 15th century Japan, who would mix roasted rice with leftover tea leaves to make their tea supplies last longer. The tea became popular among the Japanese people, soon becoming a staple in daily life.

Sencha Genmai tea is rich in antioxidants and contains L-theanine, an amino acid that is thought to encourage relaxation and reduce stress.

Alexander O. ★★★★★

I've been brewing this every morning since it arrived, and the warm nutty aroma from the toasted rice fills the whole kitchen. The savoury notes make it feel more like a cozy broth than a plain green tea, and it's smooth enough to sip without any bitterness.

Ellie ★★★★★

The toasted rice gives this genmaicha a really unique savory depth that I haven't found in other green teas. It's smooth and mild enough for an afternoon cup without being bitter.

Evelyn X. ★★★★★

Finally, a green tea that doesn't taste grassy or bitter—the toasted rice adds a warm, nutty richness that's really comforting. It's smooth and mild, yet somehow full of savory flavor. I've already gone through two bags.
