The story of Genmaicha dates back to the Edo period in Japan (1603-1868). During this time, ingenious tea merchants devised a clever way to stretch their tea supplies. They began adding roasted brown rice to green tea leaves, creating a harmonious fusion that became known as Genmaicha. The rice served as a filler, making the tea more accessible to a wider audience, including those with modest means.

Today, Genmaicha transcends social boundaries. It’s enjoyed by people from all walks of life. Whether you’re sipping it for pleasure or as a comforting companion during fasting or long intervals between meals, Genmaicha remains a beloved choice.
