A delicate and mellow blend of roasted brown rice grains and tea, genmaicha is well known for its deep taste. The brown rice or genmai used to create this product was also harvested from Wazuka Town. As part of d:matcha’s on going project to revitalise the region, they started organic rice farming in 2021. Always popular in the winter for its warm and comforting aromas, the tea is well balanced, full flavored and smooth.
When infused as a cold brew, the result is a refreshing brew. The natural aroma of the rice is also further enhanced in the absence of heat used during the steeping process. Genmaicha is suitable for those looking for a low caffeine tea drink.
