Description
Mellow and soothing with the freshness of other Sencha green teas, Genmaicha green tea has been beloved by green tea drinkers in Japan for centuries, and its popularity is now spreading across the world. If you want to enjoy a reasonably priced Sencha green tea, then Genmaicha green tea is a great option.
Typically, Genmaicha green tea is created through mixing together brown puffed rice with Sencha tea leaves, either from the second harvest, Nibancha, or the third harvest, Sanbancha. Our Genmaicha green tea, however, comes from the first harvest of the year, Ichibancha. This provides our Genmaicha green tea with a wonderfully roasted blend that’s richer and more full bodied than typical Genmaicha green teas.
As with other Sencha teas, the leaves for Genmaicha green tea are grown in the fertile soils and sunlit plains of Kyoto. This city is the birthplace of Japanese tea culture, making our Genmaicha green tea as authentic as it comes and a great starting point for embarking on an exploration of the world of Japanese tea.
Being a green tea, Genmaicha offers many health benefits. In fact, studies have found that drinking green tea every day can help to lower cholesterol, relieve anxiety and stress and even assist with weight loss. So along with the delicious taste, you gain benefits for your mind, body and soul in every cup.

Bought as a present for valentines day. Arrived right on time. Packaging is plain, brown box. Packed in tons of shreded paper. Tea itself is great! Samples looked as they do in picture. Aromatic and tasty.

Excellent quality teas from WellTea! I am now regular customer! This is real Japanese Genmaicha. I am drinking green teas for about 12 year now and this is the best quality tea I came across in UK. Packaging also was excellent and I have received my parcel next day. Thank so much for professional service! Highly recommended!

Bought as a present for someone who love Japanese tea. Was quite disappointed with packaging as it comes in a plain silver bag with a sticker. Thankfully tea itself tastes great and my cousin was very happy with it.
