糙米茶 (Genmaicha)
Kirishima-shi, Kagoshima Ken, Japan
Too often, the green tea component of genmaicha is forsaken while the toasted rice takes centre stage. However, for better flavour balance, we are insistent that the green tea base must be at level with our sencha. This is therefore a genmaicha custom-made to Tea Craft specifications.
The toasted rice from this Kirishima Collective has also been done with a lighter touch, so there’s no smokiness, leaving only the inviting aroma of candied popcorn.
