Genmaicha

I opened the bag and the roasted rice aroma hit me immediately—it’s like a warm hug in leaf form. The nutty sweetness balances the sencha’s freshness perfectly, and it steeps into a golden cup that’s both savory and clean.

The roasted rice gives it this cozy, almost popcorn-like sweetness that I’ve never tasted in another green tea, and it balances the sencha’s brightness perfectly. Steeped for three minutes, it’s become my daily afternoon ritual.

I’m not usually a green tea person, but this genmaicha changed that—the roasted sticky rice adds such a cozy, nutty sweetness that I crave a cup every afternoon. The sencha base stays fresh and smooth underneath, so it feels comforting yet bright at the same time. Already reordered a bigger bag.
