A unique genmaicha from Watanabe family on Yakushima Island.
This organic tea defies all stereotypes about genmaicha.
Only spring sencha leaves from the first harvest were used in its production. Most teas of this type are based on bancha – tea harvested during the second harvest.
Mr Watanabe buys organic unroasted rice and mixes it with the tea, then roasts both ingredients together.
The result is very good tea with a balanced, subtle flavour, distinct sweet notes and low bitterness.
It is the best genmaicha we have ever tasted.
