Green Tea Gen Mai Cha

50g Bag

Genmaicha (often called popcorn tea) is one of Japan's most fascinating and beloved blends. Historically, it originated as a "popular" tea, where roasted rice was added to give body and substance to green tea leaves. Today, it is a true delicacy appreciated by connoisseurs for its unique and enveloping character.

Once poured into the cup, the color is a clear, light golden yellow, with hints of pale green. It immediately evokes the aroma of freshly baked bread crust, warm cereals, and toasted hazelnut. The flavor is soft, well-rounded, and without astringency. The typical slightly bitter and "green" note of Japanese tea is completely smoothed out by the natural, starchy sweetness of the rice.

THE PERFECT MOMENT It is a light tea, ideal to enjoy at any time of day, including in the afternoon or evening.
