Gen Mai Cha Supreme – Japanese Green Tea with Toasted Brown Rice

Gen Mai Cha Supreme is a classic Japanese tea — a wonderful blend of luxury Japanese green tea and toasted brown rice. High-quality genmaicha is always made with toasted brown rice, which delivers a sweeter, richer flavor than cheaper versions made with toasted white rice.

This aromatic blend brings together the refreshing lightness and sweetness of green tea with the distinctive, nutty taste of roasted rice. Genmaicha is one of the most popular teas served in Japanese restaurants and is enjoyed daily in homes throughout Japan. Legend has it that rice was first added to stretch precious tea leaves further — and the delicious result became a beloved classic.

I drink Genmaicha every afternoon. It has enough caffeine to keep me going but not so much that I can't sleep at night. The toasted rice lend it a pleasant roasty flavor & smell. I've tried many brands and this is one of the best that I've found!

Delicious new morning ritual is making my Genmaicha tea, reminiscent of the puffed toasted rice cereal I used to eat as a little boy. Smooth, with a clean, grassy green tea flavor. Tases great with just a touch of stevia or xylitol. It’s so good, I don’t miss morning coffee anymore!

I like the flavor of this Genmaicha tea. I'm concerned, however, that the individual bags do not appear to be compostable. They seem to be made of a strong man-made product (perhaps nylon or similar). Purchasing the tea in loose-leaf solves the problem, but please consider using compostable and environmentally friendly materials for the individual serving tea bags.
