Shirakawa-cha Premium Genmaicha is made from Shirakawa-cha first and second flush tea leaves, blended with carefully selected domestic roasted brown rice.
The brown rice is roasted until just before it fully pops.
By not fully popping the rice, its rich, fragrant aroma and flavor are preserved.
This Genmaicha offers a rich roasted aroma with a mild, refreshing taste.
