Genmaicha

Genmaicha | Japanese Green Tea Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese blend of green tea and toasted husked rice, offering a nutty, barley-like flavor and soothing aroma. Originally created during World War II to stretch tea supplies, this humble combination quickly became a beloved staple for its warm, roasted notes and satisfying mouthfeel. With its comforting flavor and rich cultural heritage, Genmaicha is often referred to as "popcorn tea" due to the occasional popped rice kernels in the blend. It's perfect for a gentle caffeine boost without overwhelming bitterness.
