The Genmaicha from Hagiricha is made from a very fine Bancha tea mixed with toasted rice to add a roasted cereal note to the gentle sweetness of the tea leaves. Genmaicha is the most popular variety of blended tea in Japan, and is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. What originated as a way to make green tea last longer has become a widely popular tea in its own right. People who like nice roasted or cereal flavors will really appreciate this tea. There is a nice balance between the green tea and the toasted rice, so neither flavor completely takes over. This is the perfect tea to enjoy on a brisk morning, and may remind you of a nice warm bowl of hot cereal.

About the Farm
This tea was produced by a co-op of farmers in Shizuoka. These farmers wanted to produce great quality teas without the use of pesticides and chemicals so they worked together to make this blend and others. This tea is made by combining more mature tea leaves with toasted rice.
How to Brew it
Add 5 grams of leaves to the teapot or strainer and then pour in 150ml to 200ml of water (170 degrees Fahrenheit) and let the tea brew for 1 minute. You can brew the leaves 2-3 more times with the same temperature for 20 seconds each
