Gen Mai Cha Supreme – Japanese Green Tea with Toasted Brown RiceGen Mai Cha Supreme is a classic Japanese tea — a wonderful blend of luxury Japanese green tea and toasted brown rice. 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 green tea with the distinctive, nutty taste of roasted rice. Genmaicha is one of the most popular teas served in Japanese restaurants and is enjoyed daily in homes throughout Japan. Legend has it that rice was first added to stretch precious tea leaves further — and the delicious result became a beloved classic. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItGen Mai Cha Supreme is naturally lower in caffeine and less astringent than many other Japanese green teas, making it a gentle, comforting cup any time of day. Its toasty, savory-sweet character makes it a great introduction to Japanese green tea and a wonderful companion to meals.
How to EnjoyEnjoy it with meals — it pairs beautifully with sushi, ramen, tempura and rice dishes — or as a cozy afternoon or evening cup. It's also delicious iced and can be re-steeped for a second cup. We hope you love our luxury Gen Mai Cha Supreme as much as we do! |

A little steeping tipStart at 1.5 min and taste — go up to 2 min for a fuller flavour. For a stronger cup, add a little more tea rather than steeping longer.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
