Sirocco Buy Tea Box Medium Genmaicha (120g)

Our fine Genmaicha comes from the main island of Honshū, from Shizuoka Prefecture. The region is known as the center of the Japanese tea trade. The special soil conditions, coupled with a special climate, distinguish this region and allow the plants to thrive fantastically. The basis for our Genmaicha is a particularly high-quality, small-leaf green tea - in contrast to the usual simpler and large-leaf Bancha qualities used for Genmaicha. The brown rice is roasted with the utmost care, so that not a single grain of rice pops up. This care is ultimately noticeable in the cup. A bright green cup color and highly aromatic notes. On the palate, the contrasting flavors of fresh green tea and the sweet, nutty notes of roasted rice come together in a winning combination.
