Genmaicha: cult rice green tea

Genmaicha is a sweet, slightly nutty, aromatic, rusty coloured tea. Its flavour – the one we know from sushi bars and Japanese restaurants – is exceptionally memorable. Legend has it that a servant to the Hakone shogun accidentally served his master a tea with some stolen grains of rice that he had in his pocket. This mistake cost him his life, but the shogun liked the taste so much that he decided to include it in his daily diet. This is how genmaicha, today known also as „popcorn tea”, came about. It was once considered to be a drink of the lower classes, as people used to add cheap rice grains to increase the volume of pure sencha. Moya Genmaicha is organically cultivated on the island of Kyushu.

Properties of Genmaicha

Genmaicha tea contains medium levels of caffeine. It helps the digestive system, so it is traditionally served with meals. During long periods of fasting, Buddhist monks often support themselves with just genmaicha. Like other Japanese green teas, genmaicha is a rich source of catechins and antioxidants. Drinking genmaicha helps in slowing down the ageing processes, getting rid of toxins, reducing bad cholesterol, reducing sugar levels and improving dental health. Genmaicha is recommended in prevention of various diseases as its leaves contain easily absorbable vitamin C, beta carotene, folic acid, potassium, calcium and phosphorus.

Volume: 2-3 g / 200 ml

  • Our brand

    Moya is a top quality Japanese tea brand . You can buy our matcha tea and other green teas in our affiliated shops all over Europe, in our online green tea shop, and in our showroom in Warsaw. We are proud of the quality of our green tea and we consider ourselves experts in the field. Quality, colour, taste and price of matcha tea depends on many factors, such as region, rainfall and –primarily – the harvest from which the tea comes from. Matcha from the first harvest is the most delicate one because it is produced from the finest leaves that were exposed to direct sunlight only for a short period of time. Japan puts severe quality norms and the harvest volume is thus limited.
