Both discreet and warm, perfect for cocooning moments. 🌱 THE PARTICULARITIES OF OUR GENMAICHA The sencha green tea used in this Genmaicha (玄米茶, “brown rice tea”) is harvested in spring in Fujieda (Shizuoka region, cradle of green tea in Japan) by our partner farmers, who also produce our Culinary matcha. After harvesting, the sencha green tea is steamed for a few seconds to fix its properties before being rolled as is the Japanese tradition, in order to bring out all its flavors. Finally, it is mixed on site with puffed brown rice that comes from a nearby plantation. This sencha green tea and brown rice are both grown using 100% natural compost methods. 🌱 NUTRIENTS - HEALTH BENEFITS Rich in Vitamin B1 Rich in antioxidants Helps regulate blood sugar Zero calories and very low in caffeine Aids in relaxation and concentration Considerable aid in the elimination of toxins from the body. 👉🏽 Other virtues: Like any other organic and quality green tea, Genmaicha is conducive to good general health.

He was born in Kyoto. A legend says that the first to have experimented with this mixture was a farmer, who had the idea of allowing the poor to finally be able to buy tea, and benefit from its vitamins and minerals. Indeed, this mixture of 50% green tea and 50% rice cost less than pure green tea. In addition, people suffering from malnutrition consumed it because the nutrients in green tea and puffed rice gave them almost the same feeling of satiety as certain foods. For this same reason, the Genmaicha was also favored by monks during fasting periods, soldiers with very reduced food rations and people in convalescence who were waiting to be able to resume a normal diet.
