Genmaicha, or Popcorn Tea, is a traditional Japanese tea sourced from Kagoshima, South Japan. This speciality tea pairs premium sencha green tea with toasted brown rice, creating a smooth, nutty and refreshing cup. The umami freshness of sencha is balanced perfectly with the roasted aroma of popcorn rice for a distinctive and satisfying brew. Available exclusively as loose leaf tea for a refined, comforting finish.
Ironically, this tea started it’s historic journey as Poor Man’s Tea or People’s Tea, where the pickers of the tea would “cut” the tea with toasted brown rice to make the tea go further. Today it is drunk in celebration and has a delicious savoury and nutty flavour.
This beautiful Genmaicha has a smooth umami taste balanced with fresh Green Tea notes. This Japanese Classic is a hidden gem waiting to become a cupboard staple. Toasted Brown Rice lends this brew a rich nutty flavour, while the base of Japanese Sencha lightens the blend to a refreshing and easy to drink cup. Perfect for lovers of savoury tones and new discoveries.

Ooh what a lovely tea! I’ve never had a Genmaicha before, but they were sampling it at an event and I was won over! Sweet and savoury at the same time, and gives me energy in the afternoons. A definite winner for me!
