To the leaves is added roasted brown rice, which in contact with hot water releases distinct cereal and nutty notes.. Thanks to this composition, the tea has an extremely mild taste, free from intense bitterness, and is perfectly suited for drinking at any time of day, including after meals. A characteristic feature of Genmaicha is its comfortable, friendly taste – appreciated by both those starting their adventure with Japanese tea and experienced connoisseurs.

Traditional brewing method – homemade ochazuke style or for a mealDescription:In traditional Japanese homes, Genmaicha has been served for centuries as a 'meal tea' – often drunk with rice, vegetables, or as an infusion poured directly onto a dish in the style of ocha-zuke.(rice with toppings poured over with tea). Thanks to its mildness and neutrality, it does not interfere with the taste of dishes, while simultaneously aiding digestion. Step-by-step instructions:Into the kyusu teapot, add 2 g of Shizuoka Genmaicha. Pour water at a temperature of approx.. 80°C for 1–2 minutes. Pour the infusion into small bowls or cups. Second infusion: Approx. 30 seconds – often nuttier and less grassy. Alternatively: Pour hot Genmaicha infusion over the ready portion of rice and vegetables, creating a simple, homemade version of ocha-zuke. It's a tea with an everyday character that combines taste with the warmth of a home ritual.
