A captivating blend of green tea and roasted brown rice, this traditional Japanese variety will delight with its distinctive roasted character.
Legend tells of a 15th century samurai in Japan enjoying his tea when his servant, Genmai, accidentally spilled rice into the cup. Enraged, the samurai executed Genmai, but upon tasting this fortuitous combination of tea and rice, he became enchanted. To honour his servant's memory, he bestowed upon the tea the name "Genmaicha".
This compelling tea delivers equal pleasure whether served hot or chilled, and complements meals with remarkable harmony.
