This organic genmaicha, made by our farmer in Kyoto, comes with the addition of organic karigane which are the stems that are sorted out during the processing of only first harvest high quality sencha and gyokuro. The karigane stems add more depth and sweetness which gives it a rather different edge than other types of genmaicha. If you like the extra sweetness that the stems impart, you might just get hooked to this genmaicha!

Organic Brown Rice info...

All of our organic genmaicha contains brown rice that is organically cultivated in a safe, chemical free, organic environment in Nara, Japan as opposed to conventionally produced Japanese brown rice which is cultivated using a substantial amount of agricultural chemicals. We offer all of our organic genmaicha as a safe and healthy alternative to non-organic genmaicha.
