Genmaicha is traditionally a mixture of pure sencha or bancha (coarse tea) and toasted rice. Our Genmaicha is made by mixing toasted rice and premium green tea from Fukuoka prefecture. Its heavenly aroma and light nutty flavor are especially enjoyable. It is said the life of this tea is in its aroma. To effectively bring out the aroma, it is recommended to pour hot water into the pot in a strong, rapid stream.

Genmaicha was invented in the 1920s, and there are various theories regarding its inception. One common belief is that in old Kyoto, Genmaicha was considered a drink for poor farmers and city dwellers who couldn't afford expensive blends. It is said that monks, soldiers, and those who were recovering from illness all turned to Genmaicha for inexpensive liquid nutrition in times of need or fasting. Kyoto was the birthplace of Genmaicha.
