  • Description
    When Japanese farmers first tried the trick of adding toasted rice to their tea, they soon realised that the springlike taste of steamed green tea was a surprisingly good match for crispy, roasted flavours. Popped pieces of toasted rice give the appearance of popcorn, and Genmaicha tends to be a hit with anyone fond of the slightly savoury taste the Japanese call “umami”. We'd recommend trying our Genmaicha with a handful of toasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds – ideal as a flavoursome energy boost.

    This is a very enjoyable tea, with the baked rice giving it a flavour not a million miles from popcorn, but not quite there. It is extremely interesting and a great one to share with friends, but not perhaps one to drink everyday. Definately a bargain for the price though.

Origin: Japan

Tea was first introduced to Japan around the turn of the first millennium, and since then it's become much more than just a drink: chado or "the way of tea" is a fine art for the Japanese that takes a lifetime to master. Today Japan is famous for its lush, verdant green tea, thanks to a process of steaming the leaves.

Green Tea

Green tea's fresh, verdant taste is down to its processing: the leaves are heated shortly after picking, stopping the oxidation process that would eventually turn them into black tea. Some of the best green teas are found in Japan and China, where the techniques of firing or steaming the leaves have been perfected over many centuries.
