This tea is made from 100% natural ingredients.

Originally created in Japan hundreds of years ago when Zen monks mixed green tea with rice stuck to the bottom of their cauldrons, Genmaicha is now a staple, household beverage in Japan and a rising trend in cosmopolitan centers around the world. Japanese green tea and fire-toasted rice fill each cup with a nutty, filling, uniquely Asian flavor. The satisfying, smooth, warming flavor of this tea makes Genmaicha a popular diet aid.

Origin:

The tea comes from the April harvest in Kagoshima, Kyushu, Japan.  The rice is harvested in Autumn and comes from several perfectures in Japan.

Packaging:

Our elegant, embossed tin is designed to keep tea fresh and full of flavor.

A tin of Japanese Genmaicha holds approximately 36 teaspoons (12 tablespoons) of loose tea. The number of servings-per-tin varies depending upon the type of tea, leaf size, cup size and desired strength (amount of tea used).

The tin itself measures 6.25 inches tall, 2.75 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Although a tin holds 16 fluid ounces by volume, the actual ounce weight of the tea within varies depending on the density of the leaf.
