#1063.TX Palette: Genmaicha Powder from Shizuoka

Genmaicha from Shizuoka

Genmaicha is a popular tea in Japan featuring green tea together with roasted rice. Genmaicha has traditionally been a leaf tea, but recently genmaicha powder has became popular. This particular genmaicha is made from refreshing spring harvest green tea and roasted, naturally grown, brown rice. These high quality ingredients create a delicious powder that has both freshness from the tea and cozy, toasty depth from the roasted rice.
