Category: Loose Leaf Tea

Traditional Japanese genmaicha green tea with a citrus twist.

Wholly natural, organically grown, loose leaf sencha, Japanese green tea - artfully blended with toasted brown rice and pure yuzu (Asian citrus). No "natural" flavourings made in a laboratory. Just pure tea, rice and citrus zest.

It's rather lovely.

Think of a Japanese take on Earl Grey - instead of malty black tea, it’s a succulent green tea. Instead of bergamot from Calabria in Italy, this tea is lifted by an elegant citrus hit of yuzu from Kagoshima.

Thomas N. ★★★★★

The toasted rice gives it a cozy, savory depth that pairs beautifully with the bright yuzu—I've been reaching for this every afternoon since it arrived. The loose leaf sencha steeps a clean, mellow cup that's naturally energizing without any bitterness.

Natalie ★★★★★

The toasted rice gives it that cozy, savory base, but the yuzu peel adds a bright, almost candied finish that keeps me coming back for another cup. I've been brewing it in the morning and the aroma alone wakes me up better than my coffee ever did.

Henry C. ★★★★★

The citrus note is so subtle it sneaks up on you after the warm, toasty finish — I've been brewing this every afternoon and the loose leaf sencha steeps a lovely, clear golden-green. The yuzu doesn't overpower, just lifts the whole cup.
