In the Know
For a tea with humble beginnings, genmaicha (which translates to "brown rice tea") certainly isn't humble in quality. Known colloquially as the "People's Tea", genmaicha originated in Japan as a substitute tea for people who could not afford green tea. To save money and add flavor, the green tea leaves were mixed with roasted brown rice, making it more affordable. Though originally considered a poor man's brew, the fact that this tea did not disappear as a popular green tea became a testament to its appeal, and today it is considered a Japanese tradition.
The rice in this blend gives the tea a mild, roasted flavor, which can be an appealing change for those less interested in sweet or herbal teas. It is also often mixed with matcha to create matcha genmaicha, a blend even more potent and flavorful. For tea lovers, this is certainly one brew worth trying.
How to Properly Make the Perfect Cup of Genmaicha
As with all green teas, it is best to use water at a temperature not quite boiling. Suggested temp is 175° - 185° F. If you like a richer cup of this delightful blend, keep your tea bag in your cup.

Genmacha greenMay42020I liked the Genmaicha. Taste wise, however, it is on the green tea side. I prefer more of the roasted and popcorn rice flavor offered by other brands.deb Verified Buddha Teas Customer

Genmaicha TeaMar202020I'd enjoyed this tea in the past. I'd been wanting to find it again, and was delighted it was carried by Buddha Teas. When I pour the hot water over the tea, the fragrance is very soothing and relaxing. I can almost smell the brown rice gently cooking. I love this tea.Donna Verified Buddha Teas Customer

A decent GenmaichaSep92019My "go to" Genmaicha has been the Choice brand until I stumbled across Buddha Teas in a local market and then ordered this flavor online to see how they compared. Flavor-wise, they are about the same, a bit disappointing considering the difference in price. I will enjoy the rest of this box but I think that Buddha Teas' best products are the root teas and other unusual flavors, worth the premium price.alacarte Verified Buddha Teas Customer

so good its goneJan232015If you are looking to match the mild toasty flavor of your favorite sushi bar tea, this is it! This is the stuff tea dreams are made of, for real. Not only do I drink this all day but my 10 year old daughters now pack this for lunch and prefer it to all other drinks morning noon and night. Its so good it will be gone in a snap.imsewmakebelieve Verified Buddha Teas Customer
