About our genmaicha powder


Expect a comforting roasted aroma and a buttery-sweet flavour with hints of peanut — smooth, toasty, and honestly, addictive.

Genmaicha meaning “brown rice tea”, is a traditional Japanese blend of green tea and roasted rice. Despite the name, our blend is made with white mochi rice, which develops a wonderfully fragrant, nutty character when roasted.

Traditionally, the rice and tea are combined in a 1:1 ratio, often using Bancha leaves. This results in a smooth tasting drink with hints of peanut and popcorn ( or puffed rice ). Pairs extremely well with milk or milk alternatives and a tea spoon of honey or sugar.

How we recommend drinking the genmaicha powder

3-5 genmaicha tea ⋅ 80-90°C ⋅ 70-80ml hot water ⋅ 150-200ml of milk

Our genmaicha powder can be used for both drinking and food recipes. For a genmaicha latte you can use 3-5 grams of Genmaicha powder. Mix it with 70-80 ml of hot almost boiling water and whisk it (preferable with a matcha bamboo whisk) for about 2 minutes or until properly dissolved. Once dissolved add the mixture into a glass filled with 150-200 ml milk (either hot or cold). Mix and enjoy.

How does the genmaicha powder tea taste?


It has a pleasant nutty and buttery-like aroma. The tea is fragrant thanks in part to the addition of roasted rice. In our opinion when paired with milk for a genmaicha latte, the taste closely resembles the taste of puffed rice (rich and roasty).
