Overview
Pairing: sushi, steamed vegetables, or citrusy salads
Just the aroma of this delicious tea leads the senses to imagine hiking along a pleasant trail in a shady Japanese forest. It is the unusual mixture of bancha green tea leaves, roasted brown rice and Hojicha, or roasted tea stems, that give this beautiful blend its distinctive and unforgettable character. Just like its popular relative, Genmaicha, the tea is full of toasty aromas with a slightly nutty, sweet, popcorn-like flavour that conjures up all the wonder of authentic Japan
