Genmaicha with Sencha Danran “AA”

Japanese green tea made from sencha blended with puffed roasted rice. Aromas of popcorn and the sea, with an unmistakable umami character. The tea features large leaves and whole grains of rice.

A tea that can almost replace a meal: rich, dense, vividly green, and intensely aromatic. The aroma profile is straightforward, yet no less enjoyable for it. A great choice for Japan lovers, adventurous tea drinkers, and anyone who has yet to experience what high-quality tea with additions can taste like.

Sencha is a type of Japanese green tea in which the leaves are steamed, rolled, and dried shortly after harvesting to prevent oxidation. More specifically, the term generally refers to tea made from unshaded leaves, in contrast to shaded Japanese teas such as gyokuro.

Genmaicha is made by blending sencha with roasted rice. There are different proportions, but a 1:1 ratio of roasted rice to tea leaves is particularly popular. Because the blend contains less tea leaf per serving than pure sencha, genmaicha generally contains less caffeine than sencha and other green teas.
