Tamaryoku Genmaicha

Genmaicha is a Japanese green tea blended with roasted brown rice, known for its warm, toasty, cereal-like aroma. This particular blend stands out because it's made with first-flush tamaryokucha — a rare choice, since most Genmaicha on the market uses lower-grade second or third flush tea, which can taste harsh and astringent. The result here is smooth and gentle, with none of that bitterness.

Flavour: refreshing, roasted cereal notes — a natural pairing with meals. It's also naturally lower in caffeine, making it a great choice for a calming evening cup.

Did you know? Tamaryokucha, sometimes called "coiled green tea," is a close relative of sencha. Its naturally curled leaves come from skipping the final shaping step in processing — a lighter touch that gives it a higher umami content than most green teas. Kyushu is one of the only regions in Japan still growing it.
