    Absolutely delicious! I have always loved organic green tea with toasted brown rice and was looking for a new one to try. Based on the reviews I decided to try it. So glad I did, it’s very smooth, fresh, and well balanced. I also bought the best tea infuser ever, “OXO BREW Twisting Tea Ball Infuser” to go with my new tea. This tea is pricey, but worth it because it’s so good!

    Genmaicha is a type of Japanese green tea that is roasted with brown rice. Senbird’s is delicious and fresh and a beautiful bright green color. It has a nutty, toasted flavor that is both refreshing and comforting. Genmaicha is a great choice for those who enjoy green tea but find it too bitter. The roasted rice helps to mellow out the flavor of the tea, making it more palatable. Genmaicha is also a good source of antioxidants and other nutrients.

    **Taste**

    Genmaicha has a unique flavor that is both nutty and toasted. The roasted rice gives the tea a slightly sweet flavor, while the green tea provides a refreshing vegetal note. Genmaicha is not as bitter as other types of green tea, making it a good choice for those who are new to green tea or who find it too bitter.

    **Health Benefits**

    Genmaicha is a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect the body against damage from free radicals. Genmaicha is also a good source of other nutrients, including vitamins B1, B2, and E.

    **Overall**

    Genmaicha is a delicious and healthy type of Japanese green tea. It has a unique flavor that is both nutty and toasted. Genmaicha is a good choice for those who enjoy green tea but find it too bitter. It is also a good source of antioxidants and other nutrients.

    I haven’t had Japan tea in decades. This tea is excellent for it’s flavor and freshness. I use this in my Keurig and am able to make three 12 oz cups before changing the tea leaves. Full value and the quality tastes as good as the first cup. It’s a bit pricey but I don’t mind. I am able to have a cup of tea in the afternoon and still have a great solid night’s sleep. Excited to try other flavors!

    A very savory, green tea experience which I was not used to at first, but still enjoyed! If you’re a Jasmine green tea type, this is going to be different from what you’re used to. Would recommend pairing this with a hearty meal.

    I have been meaning to purchase some genmaicha forever. Most green tea upsets my stomach but I’ve never had problems with genmaicha. I found Senbird and ordered a tin of loose tea. It is so fresh and fragrant just opening the lid brings me joy. Only a teaspoon is required for a full cup and the tea is pleasant any time of day or night. Can’t wait to order more and try more selections from their label.

    I love this tea. I purchased the Genmaicha. It has exactly the right balance between the green tea and the roasted rice – some Genmaichas have the balance inexact, too much green tea or too much roasted rice. Not this one, it’s balanced and very smooth.

    Outstanding value in a very high quality, pure Sencha experience. I’ve been trying various Sencha brands lately in search of a satisfying organic Sencha at a reasonable price. I’m happy to report that I found it today with my first delivery of SENBIRD TEA’s Organic Sencha Green Tea. I opened it immediately and brewed it following package directions at 75C for 1.5 minutes using spring water in a gaiwan. I could tell right away by both appearance and aroma that this was not just another mediocre Japanese tea in a fancy package. It was like experiencing the essence of a fine ceremonial matcha – excellent balance between umami fragrance, sweet fresh undercurrents of marigold, and a powerful centering energy experience. A completely unexpected level of quality for the price. Highly recommended!

    My husband loves Genmaicha tea but only drinks it from the cheap tea bags. He also doesn’t like matcha but I like matcha and read about the health benefits. I couldn’t get him to switch to matcha. Then I found this blend. It is PERFECT! I can’t believe how fresh it tastes. And I can’t believe my husband actually likes it too. It’s the best of both worlds and it will be hard to go back to drinking tea bags!

    I love the smell of Genmaicha. It’s nice to drink with a meal or if I’m feeling hungry at night. Sometimes I steep it for a long time so that it’s stronger. It’s also very easy to brew and doesn’t require as much prep as Gyokuro, so it’s good for everyday when I’m busy. I will be reordering when it’s gone. I’m pleased that this brand has a refill policy!

    The tea has surprisingly rich flavor, better than other cheaper non-organic tea. The color of the liquid is darker than other brands I have tried. That may explain the richness of the flavor.

    I drink 2 cups of this tea in the morning, and before I knew it, the hundred grams of Genmaicha in the sealed jar have disappeared. The mellow, sweet, and chlorophyll laden is just what I need in the morning. It reminds me of the many teas I drank when I traveled to Kyoto three times a year.

    I’m glad I bought this! Was a little hesitant due to the price, but I took a chance since it was organic. The quality, taste and freshness are a thumbs up and I love the fact that this Genmaicha has the little white popped brown rice (looks like tiny popcorn), which I wish they added more of. It gives it a more roasted flavor.

    I gave loose leaf tea a try, after drinking tea from tea bags all my life. I thought it might be a little complicated to prepare, but Senbird’s packaging was pretty informative with how much tea to use and how hot the water should be. The tea smelled so good in the tin, and drinking it was quite relaxing. The heads up on the caffeine level on the packaging was a nice touch, too.

    I was recently introduced to genmaicha tea via a subscription service I purchased for my parents. While they weren’t thrilled by the taste, I Googled it and found it has amazing health benefits so I decided to purchase some for myself in hopes of minimizing my coffee intake. This tea is more delicate than the one I’d previously tried which makes it easy to drink. The flavor isn’t as strong but it’s good. I honestly don’t have much to compare it to because I’ve only tried one other brand but I will continue ordering it.

    Definitely a delicious and high-quality genmaicha tea… the roasted rice flavor is in good balance with the tea. It brews to a pretty jade color due to the matcha as well. Be sure to use boiled water that’s cooled to around 180F …. hotter than that makes sencha very bitter.

    This is normally more than I would pay for tea since I’m used to the cheap pre-made tea bags but this genmaicha is worth it! I found some empty tea bags and I prefill it for convenience.

    I was looking for a low-caffeine tea and found this. This is a mixture of roasted grains-brown rice, green tea leaves, and matcha powder. I would say the flavor is well-rounded and has good flavor. I’ve tried other Genmaicha teas (Yamamoto to name one), which are good but don’t have matcha powder included. Not sure if the flavor of this senbird brand is more pronounced because of the addition of matcha, but I’d be interested in trying their tea leaves by themselves. Overall, I’d repurchased- please note although this review is honest, I was directed here to get a free refill from the company in exchange for a review. They have a recycling program as well, where you get 10% off your purchase if you purchase a refill. This encourages buyers to keep their tin can.

    I’m not good at describing flavors especially since I usually like my teas sweet. But this Genmaicha is really good, especially for when I first wake up. It’s flavor is very easy to get used to if you don’t drank green tea often, it should easily turn into your favorite. Genmaicha is good if you want something to help you slowly wake up but not have the coffee jitters.

    I have been craving this genmaicha tea since I first tasted it in Asia many years ago. I took a chance and purchased this on Amazon and am so glad I did. I drink this at work and my coworkers are also hooked! Even without a tea leaf strainer, if you let it sit for awhile, eventually all the leaves sink to the bottom and only the delicious brown rice remains at the top. It is a daily treat that I look forward to!

    We really like Genmacha (Genmaicha) tea for the toasted rice flavor. This is a good choice and something of a bargain when price shopping. The tin a right-sized tin that looks amazing on the counter and provides a good seal to keep flavor in. Flavor-wise, it has that toasted rice flavor, but the green tea seemed a tad overpowering. Would I order it again? Sure. Is it my favorite? No. I’m sure this is a personal preference, and the tea is good.

Description

This organic Genmai Tea is a blend of roasted brown rice green tea and matcha from Kyoto. This fragrant genmaicha has a toasty aroma of rice and a refreshing taste with a hint of sweetness. The tea leaves are expertly blended with the toasted rice, creating a captivating aroma and a delightful mix of savory and sweet notes. The result is a unique, satisfying cup that’s both warming and soothing.

Genmai Matcha Suzu is made with sencha green tea and Japanese rice that has been soaked in water and then deeply roasted to create toasted rice. Often, some rice pops open during the roasting process, hence the white pieces in the tea that look similar to popcorn.
