Imperial Gyokuro Genmaicha – Luxury Gyokuro with Toasted Brown Rice

Our Imperial Gyokuro Genmaicha pairs exceptional, top-tier premium Japanese green tea with toasted brown rice, resulting in a highly aromatic, medium-bodied tea — an elevated take on a classic Japanese favorite.

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 fine green tea with the distinctive, comforting taste of roasted rice. Using premium green tea as the base gives this genmaicha extra depth and a smooth, luxurious character.

This tea is amazing! To describe it i have to say that it has a nice rich soothing flavor. A beautiful smoothness and depth that my previous experience with other genmaicha are blown away.

10/10 recommend this to any one willing to try.
