Organic Classic Genmaicha – Gentle, Toasty, and Low Caffeine

• Organic Japanese green tea from Miyazaki and Japanese roasted brown rice – no matcha added, so the flavour stays clean and beautifully balanced. 
• Classic “original-style” genmaicha is simply green tea plus roasted rice giving a lighter, clearer cup than modern matcha-blended versions. 
• Naturally lower in caffeine than straight green tea because part of the blend is rice, making it a relaxing option for afternoon or evening. 
• Perfect for everyday drinking and for people looking for a gentle, comforting Japanese tea that is easy to enjoy. 

Genmaicha has its roots as a “people’s tea” in Japan: tea leaves were blended with roasted rice to create an unpretentious, nourishing drink with a warm, toasty character. Traditionally this meant green tea plus rice only; matcha-iri genmaicha is a newer style that adds powdered matcha for a stronger green colour and flavour, but also more caffeine and intensity. By keeping this genmaicha free of matcha, the taste focuses on the gentle umami of the tea and the fragrant, nutty sweetness of the rice, without becoming too heavy. 

In the cup, expect a soft roasted aroma, a hint of “popcorn” and toasted grain, and a smooth, low-astringency taste that does not easily turn harsh even if brewed a little longer. The lower caffeine, combined with the amino acid L-theanine naturally found in green tea, makes it a calming option that can be enjoyed multiple times a day, including after dinner for many people. This makes genmaicha an attractive choice for anyone curious about Japanese tea but worried about bitterness or sleepless nights. 

Genmaicha is made by carefully blending steamed and dried green tea leaves with roasted brown rice, which is heated until it puffs and turns aromatic. The tea brings freshness, light umami, and antioxidants such as catechins, while the rice adds body, warmth, and a natural sweetness that reduces the need for sugar. Many people choose genmaicha as a “healthier comfort drink”: it is hydrating, low in caffeine, gentle on the stomach, and satisfying enough to replace sweet snacks for those looking to cut back. 

On a page of low-caffeine options, this genmaicha can be presented as the soft, golden, everyday choice – easy for beginners, comforting for tea lovers, and ideal for anyone seeking a warm, Japanese-style break without the jolt of a strong green tea.
