Hoji Genmaicha

Experience the rich, nutty aroma of Hoji Genmaicha, a comforting blend of roasted green tea and brown rice. Crafted in Kyoto, this Japanese tea is made from tea leaves that are steamed, rolled, dried, and roasted in small batches each month. Just before packaging, the tea is blended with perfectly roasted brown rice to ensure optimal freshness and flavour.

As you open a pack of Hoji Genmaicha, you’ll notice the delicate puffed rice nestled among the tea leaves. Once steeped, they release a toasty, caramel-like fragrance, creating a smooth and soothing cup with every brew. With its naturally low caffeine content, this tea is perfect for enjoying throughout the day.

Hot: Steep 1 teabag in 200ml of hot water (100°C).
Iced: Place 1 teabag in 200-300ml of cold water and steep overnight.
