Harmonious and versatile blend that captures the comforting essence of traditional Japanese "popcorn tea" in a convenient, concentrated form.

Harvest & Composition

This blend is crafted using a strategic mix of 2nd and 3rd flush (Niban-cha and Sanban-cha) tea leaves. The inclusion of the 2nd flush provides a subtle sweetness and depth, while the 3rd flush contributes a sturdy, earthy backbone. When combined with premium roasted brown rice, these leaves create a well-rounded profile that retains its aromatic integrity even after being ground into a fine powder.

Flavor Profile

The result is a bold, nutty, and exceptionally toasty flavor. Because these later-harvested leaves have been exposed to more sunlight, they possess a higher catechin content, offering a crispness that cuts through the savory sweetness of the roasted rice. This robust character ensures that the distinct Genmaicha identity is never lost, even when mixed with rich or sweet ingredients.

Recommended Applications

This grade is highly recommended for applications where a strong, identifiable toasted rice presence is desired:

• Signature Lattes: Creates a comforting, creamy beverage with a nutty finish.

• Bakery & Confections: Ideal for cakes, cookies, and chocolates, adding both a unique grainy texture and a warm aroma.

• Dessert Bases: A perfect partner for milk-based desserts like gelato, flan, or whipped cream.
