Have Genmaicha, the Haiku Way
俳句玄米茶
80g
Take a part of Haiku home, poured daily in our cafe, now available in-store in Haiku Future and online, we source our Hojicha from a well known grower of premium Matcha, Genmaicha and Hojicha in Uji, Kyoto, Japan. Our third of our green tea collection, our premium Genmaicha powder delivers a smooth, comforting depth by blending the savoury and sweet of roasted brown rice and green tea.
Why Genmaicha
Combining the grassy flavour of green tea and roasted nutty flavour of brown rice, Genmaicha provides a toasty flavour almost like popcorn. Enjoyed as a tradtional Genmaicha tea, in a smoothie, in a latte or used in desserts and cakes, let Genmaicha charm your taste buds. We should mention the various health benefits that come with the taste with brown rice providing good digestion, fiber and gut health. The green tea portion provides polyphenols, supporting metabolism and detoxification. This tea has, like its Hojicha brother, less caffeine than coffee or black tea, making it enjoyable before sleep.
Texture
Hojicha shows off with a light golden colour, different to that of Matcha and Hojicha. We ensure our producer uses only the best green tea leaves, combined with rice which is soaked, steamed, dried, then roasted brown with the perfect proportion.
Freshness
Our Genmaicha, alongside with our Matcha and Hojicha is blended monthly on order and air freighted in from Japan at peak freshness. We rely directly on tea farmers, rather than trading companies, paying our producers the right price for the right quality.
Sustainability
Committed to ethical and sustainable practices, our Genmaicha is grown responsibily, free of radiation, heavy metals, pesticides and bacteria.
