Description
Description
Genmaicha is one of Japan’s most beloved everyday teas, a harmonious blend of steamed green tea and roasted brown rice that offers both freshness and warmth in a single cup. Originally enjoyed as an accessible, nourishing daily brew, Genmaicha has become a modern favourite for its soft, grassy notes, gentle toasted aroma and naturally low caffeine content.
Spice Zen's certified organic Genmaicha combines certified organic Japanese green tea with deeply roasted organic brown rice resulting in a golden infusion with a mellow, nutty sweetness, a soft vegetal lift and a comforting toasted finish that feels grounding and serene. Light enough for repeat sipping, it is the perfect companion for mindful moments, afternoon resets or calming evening rituals.
Hand packed in small batches at our gluten-free Sydney facility, this tea is crafted to preserve freshness, purity and the balanced flavour profile Genmaicha is cherished for.
