Genmaicha

This Organic Genmaicha is grown and produced by the Watanabe family on Yakushima Island, in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. Made from the classic Yabukita cultivar and blended with carefully roasted organic rice, it delivers the comforting warmth Genmaicha is loved for—while staying clean, fresh, and distinctly Japanese in character.

The organic rice used in this blend is produced in Kumamoto Prefecture and roasted at the Hachimanjyu tea factory, contributing the tea’s signature nutty depth and savoury aroma.

The liquor is golden green, with aromas of roasted rice, toasted nuts, and fresh greens. On the palate, this Genmaicha is smooth and savoury, balancing nutty warmth with a gentle grassy lift. The finish is clean and comforting, making it an easy everyday tea that satisfies without feeling heavy.

Pairs beautifully with savoury snacks, rice dishes, and everyday meals—especially when you want something grounding and approachable.
