Organic Genmaicha Green Tea

I first tried this when it came in part of the sampler set, and this Genmaicha green tea is now one of my favorites.

I've been ordering this Genmaicha tea for a while now from Arbor Teas, and I doubt I'll ever order it again from another tea company. Top of the line among genmaicha teas. What I love about this tea is the fact that the toasted rice is mixed with actual gyokuro leaves, and not with sencha leaves - as is the case with most other genmaicha teas on the market (while I do like sencha, simply no other green tea can ever compare to gyokuro to my taste). What I also love about it is the fact that this tea contains A LOT of the deliciously toasted rice, which gives it even more of the warm, toasty and incredibly comforting flavor. And lastly, the price is extremely reasonable for the amount and the QUALITY of this tea. You simply can't beat Arbor Tea's genmaicha. LOVE IT <3

Your organic Green tea is just perfect.

I'm totally new to the world of Japanese green tea, let alone ones that are this unique. I bought a sample of this and was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It has such a comforting and toasty flavor. Something you really have to try to have an opinion on. I probably won't be ordering this again but I'm so glad I tried it. My bag leaned more on the side of brown rice than tea leaf, which probably wouldn't work as well with a lower quality tea. The tea is incredibly fresh. This stuff smells like it just came off the tree. Thank you Arbor Teas for showing me what fresh really tastes and smells like!

After falling in love with brown rice tea in South Korea, I knew I needed to order this. The flavors exceeded my expectations. I love the soothing, nutty, brown rice taste. I added a teaspoon of honey making it somewhat reminiscent of arroz con leche. I will order this again!

This is a wonderfully vigorous yet gentle tea. The only green that my husband absolutely vouches for and hence, I am a happy camper. The only gripe is that I have been waiting a long, long time for it to become available and so far it has been out of stock.

Genmaicha is one of my favorite teas, I find it extremely comforting and I drink it almost daily. I have tried many genmaichas, and this one from Arbor Teas is an excellent product. If you've never had it before, I describe it as savory, because of the toasted rice it has the comforting characteristics of a broth (although it does not taste like broth) rather, you can taste the green tea with a very subtle sweetness and the dominate flavor the nutty popped rice. This is definitely not a tea you add sugar to. I think it pairs well with food so I enjoy drinking it with my meals. This genmaicha has a very pure, crisp mouth feel which is hard to come by in many genamichas. I have found that you either love genmaicha or hate it, those who I know who do not enjoy this tea are typically more interested in sweet teas. If you enjoy green teas, you will likely enjoy this tea.

This is by far the best cup of Genmaicha I have had the pleasure of sipping. The leaves are substantial, with precious few pieces of stem. I agree with the previous reviewer that I am accustomed to more brown rice in the mix, but the nutty roast of the rice made up for the lack of quantity. The balance of crystalline flavors was spot-on and you now have a long-term customer. Genmaicha starts my day and I am pleased to have your excellent product fill my TEAmo mug. From one small-business family (prorigs.net) to another, THANK YOU!

Very pleasing flavor. On the mild side compared to the tea I'm usually served at sushi and Japanese restaurants, so I tend to brew it long and strong. When I buy this kind of tea in bulk in Oakland or Boston Chinatown (random, I know), the rice to tea leaf ratio is usually much higher (more rice) but I found that this ratio was DELICIOUS and ultimately ideal. So tasty and soothing, and I'm so pleased with the compostable packaging and organic/fair trade philosophy. Oh, and the handwritten note was absolutely charming. I have the feeling I will be buying all my teas from Arbor now...Thanks!!!

it has a great roasted flavor layered over a bright green tea taste. really enjoyable almost any time, but i like it best paired with desert

I have been looking for this exact tea with popcorn in it. Do you sell that?

The purist in me did not want to like this tea (what are those Rice Krispies doin' in my tea?) but this is an example of excellent tea-crafting. It brews to a deep bronze color with a hearty toasted grain taste. This is great to have with meals as it can hold its own with competing flavors. Well priced too!
