Genmaicha Yama is a traditional Japanese tea that blends Bancha green tea with roasted brown rice. Refreshing plant notes beautifully complement the toasted flavor of the grain, giving the tea a very characteristic flavor. This unusual tea is delicious either hot or iced and pairs well with meals.

A good quality rice-inflected green tea. Not quite as brilliant as some I've bought in Japan, but those are hard to find.

This tea is not for everyone, it has a strong scent and taste of seaweed. I was surprised to find out that together with the rice, this tea resembles the taste of sushi. I suggest you try some before buying 100 gr package like I did :)

It's simply incredible. It tastes to clean and pure, and yet so... is full bodied also tea terminology? because that's how it tastes to me. Simply delightful,
