The Farmers Behind Our Genmaicha

At IKKYU, the quality of our tea is a direct reflection of the dedication of our farmers. Our premium organic genmaicha is harvested from the lush fields of Yame, a region renowned for producing some of the highest-quality green teas in Japan. These farmers work tirelessly to cultivate the perfect balance of sencha leaves and organic toasted rice, ensuring each cup delivers an exceptional flavor.

Organic genmaicha is a rare treat, as organic genmai (brown rice) is hard to find in Japan. The organic rice kernels used in our genmaicha are toasted and puffed to perfection by the tea masters of Koga cha gyo, releasing a warm, toasted aroma that is immediately inviting. Unlike mass-produced versions, our premium blend is free from “popped” kernels, a mark of its superior quality. This attention to detail and craftsmanship make our genmaicha tea a true standout.

A Tea For Every Occasion

Genmaicha’s low caffeine content makes it an excellent choice for any time of day. Whether you’re looking for a soothing tea to enjoy in the evening or a refreshing drink to start your day, it offers a balanced and calming experience. It also pairs beautifully with meals, making it an excellent companion for sushi or other light dishes. And with its smooth, roasted flavor, it’s also a great alternative for coffee lovers looking to explore the world of tea.

Genmaicha tea is a delightful drink, but it can also be enjoyed in more creative ways. Mix genmaicha powder with milk and ice for a refreshing iced tea latte, or incorporate it into your favorite baking recipes for a unique twist on cookies or cakes. Its versatility means there’s always a new way to enjoy its rich, toasted taste.

Quality Beyond Compare

When it comes to green tea, quality is key. Our premium organic genmaicha is crafted with sweet sencha leaves plucked during the second harvest of the year in May. The result is a tea that is not only delicious but also a reflection of the skill and dedication of the farmers who produce it. Each cup of genmaicha from IKKYU represents a commitment to excellence, from the carefully selected ingredients to the meticulous preparation process.

For those who appreciate the finer things in life, genmaicha offers a tea-drinking experience like no other. The balance of roasted rice and green tea creates a harmonious blend that is both soothing and refreshing. And with its deep cultural roots, genmaicha is a tea that brings with it a sense of tradition and connection to nature.
