Genmaicha Powder
Genmaicha Powder
Genmaicha Powder is a finely milled blend of Japanese green tea and toasted rice, allowing you to enjoy the full leaf simply by whisking the powder directly into water. Unlike loose-leaf tea, nothing is discarded, making it a convenient way to prepare Genmaicha while consuming the entire tea leaf.
This version is produced in Shizuoka using deep-steamed green tea (fukamushicha) blended with organic toasted rice from Toyama Prefecture. The deep steaming creates a fuller body and vibrant green colour, while the toasted rice brings warm, nutty sweetness.
Beyond drinking as a traditional tea, its finely milled form makes it ideal for lattes, smoothies, baking, desserts, and other culinary applications where its distinctive roasted character can shine.
