1. What is Genmaicha?

   • Genmaicha is a blend of Japanese green tea and roasted brown rice. Its nickname, "popcorn tea," comes from the rice kernels that pop during roasting. The tea offers a unique combination of nutty, toasty flavors from the rice and grassy, umami notes from the green tea.

2. Direct Flame Roasting:

   • This direct flame roasting method intensifies the tea's toasty aroma and adds a subtle smoky flavor, making it richer and more fragrant than standard Genmaicha. The method reflects a commitment to traditional tea preparation techniques.

3. Balanced and Nutritious:

   • Genmaicha provides the antioxidants and amino acids of green tea along with the fiber and minerals from roasted rice. It’s a wholesome, low-calorie drink that supports digestion, hydration, and overall wellness.

4. Mild Caffeine Content:

   • The addition of roasted rice reduces the caffeine levels of green tea, making it a mild and soothing option for afternoon or evening enjoyment.

5. Large 180g Pack:

   • Ideal for tea lovers, this generous pack ensures you have plenty of loose-leaf Genmaicha to enjoy daily or share with family and friends.

Hot Brew

1. Boil Water: Heat water to 80–85°C (176–185°F) to avoid bitterness.
2. Measure the Tea: Use 1 teaspoon (3g) of Genmaicha for every 200ml of water.
3. Steep the Tea: Allow the tea to steep for 30 seconds to 1 minute for a lighter brew or up to 2 minutes for a richer flavor.
4. Serve: Strain and enjoy its nutty aroma and perfectly balanced taste.

Cold Brew

1. Add Water: Place 2 teaspoons (6g) of Genmaicha in 1 liter of cold water.
2. Steep in the Fridge: Let it steep for 4–6 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Serve: Strain and pour over ice for a refreshing and mellow drink.

Second and Third Brews

• Reuse the leaves 1–2 times by increasing the steeping time slightly with each brew. This reveals different flavor nuances with each infusion.

1. Enhanced Aroma: The direct flame roasting process amplifies its toasty, smoky fragrance.
2. Nutritious and Balanced: Combines the health benefits of green tea with the hearty nutrients of roasted rice.
3. Mild Caffeine: A soothing choice for any time of day, even in the evening.
4. Generous Size: The 180g pack is perfect for frequent tea drinkers or sharing with others.

• Pair with Japanese meals like sushi, grilled fish, or rice dishes.
• Enjoy alongside light snacks such as rice crackers, edamame, or lightly salted nuts.
• Complement with traditional sweets like matcha cookies, yokan (sweet bean jelly), or daifuku (mochi with sweet fillings).
