Description
About the Producer
Storage & Care

Our genmaicha is a blend of premium roasted brown rice and kabusecha green tea, that has both smokey and fresh flavours. The unique combination of roasted rice and green tea leaves is soothing – perfect for the end of the day. Kabusecha tea has been shaded during the growing process (similar to matcha!) and so the tea is sweet and umami. Takachiho is the highest grade of Genmaicha made by Koyama-en.

We sell genmaicha loose – we prefer loose teas as they are environmentally friendly, and the tea leaves and brown rice can swim freely in the pot, for maximum flavour and fragrance. You can taste the smokey flavour with a hint of bitterness, whilst still enjoying the elegant flavour of green tea.

This is a perfect gift for the green tea lover looking to try something new, or maybe you’ll want to keep it for yourself!

Having developed the original production system, they now use a combination of modern and traditional processes to maintain as many historic elements as possible. They don’t grind matcha tea manually anymore, but they do use traditional stones. Supplying top tea ceremony schools, high ranking shrines and temples, and top hotels, they’ve won numerous tea competition awards.
