Genmaicha (玄米茶) is a traditional Japanese green tea blended with roasted brown rice. This particular Yuki Genmaicha from Hamasa Shoten is certified organic under the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS), ensuring high quality. It offers a unique, nutty flavour from the toasted rice, which beautifully balances the fresh, grassy notes of the sencha green tea base, resulting in a comforting and savoury brew. Genmaicha is a popular choice for daily drinking in Japan, often enjoyed during or after meals to cleanse the palate. To prepare, simply steep the tea leaves in hot water (around 80°C) for about one minute. This tea is lower in caffeine than other green teas, making it a suitable beverage for any time of day. It's a staple for anyone looking to explore the diverse world of authentic Japanese teas.
