Hoji Genmaicha

Hoji Genmaicha 焙じ玄米茶 - 50g

Hoji Genmaicha brings together the comforting warmth of roasted green tea and the deep, nutty sweetness of toasted rice. While standard genmaicha is made with an unroasted green tea base that can easily be overwhelmed by the rice or turn astringent if over-steeped, this variation offers a completely different balance.

By pairing a smooth, roasted houjicha base with artisanal mochi rice cakes that have been toasted to a perfect crunch, the cup avoids any bitterness. The result is a beautifully rounded, soothing tea where the comforting roasted notes of the leaf and the savoury sweetness of the grain complement each other perfectly. Because it is naturally low in caffeine, it makes an excellent companion for quiet evenings.
