There is an increasing demand for organically grown teas, so we selected this wonderful organic Genmaicha to be part of our new tea offerings. Genmaicha is often brewed in large bowls in Japan and the floating puffed rice are eaten as a small snack to accompany the tea. The puffed rice is called "blossom" or "flower" and can also be sieved out of the brew. Our blend comes from the Kagoshima Prefecture and is produced on farms around Kirishima.
