Genmaicha

2oz

Tasting profile: grounding, toasted rice, nori

Historically, green tea has been a luxury in Japan. It was common practice to bolster green tea by adding toasted brown rice as a filler. Our version of “the people’s tea,” Genmaicha, is made from indigenous cultivars and presents as a toasty, nutty cup that evokes the flavors of nori.
