Genmaicha Green Tea

Enjoy this comforting Japanese classic made with organic green tea leaves blended with toasted brown rice. Often called “popcorn tea,” Genmaicha offers a warm, nutty aroma and smooth vegetal base that’s both grounding and satisfying. Traditionally enjoyed with meals, this tea is gentle on the stomach and naturally lower in caffeine than many green teas—making it a great everyday option.

Genmaicha is loved for its balance: the freshness of green tea paired with the cozy, roasted depth of toasted rice creates a cup that feels nourishing, familiar, and deeply calming.
