Genmai-cha by Yamaguchi Tea

The genmai-cha was farmed and blended by Yamaguchi Tea in the Satsuma region of Kagoshima.

Genmai-cha is a blend of green tea leaves with brown rice, that creates a rounded flavour in the cup.  Appearing slightly yellowish once brewed, it has a refreshing and nutritious feeling to drink.  The genmai-cha by the Yamaguchi family tea business, uses locally sourced brown rice, and tea leaves from their organic farm.  The makers recommend the brew especially as an accompaniment to food, although it is also tasty when drunk on its own.

The pack contains ten tea bags.

About Yamaguchi Tea

Farming tea in the Satsuma region of Kagoshima since 1978, the family run Yamaguchi Tea business made the decision in the early 1990s to switch to organic farming. Satsuma is blessed with warm currents and long days of sunshine, supporting a healthy tea crop. But even so, to farm as an organic tea pioneer created numerous challenges. The fruit of the family’s persistence is stable, healthy and tasty teas. Included in this selection on the recommendation of the ceramicist Kaori Sasaki (Nohara-ya), Yamaguchi Tea provide the brews that she makes in her ceramic tea ware.
