🍵 Introducing our new Genmaicha Organic - Japanese Sencha blended with roasted popped rice 👌🌱 Genmaicha (quite literally, brown rice and tea) refers to the adding of rice to a green tea base. Here we have a superb example, our finest Japanese Sencha green tea paired with roasted and popped rice, creating a tea of distinct pleasure.

Mild and at the same time full-bodied in taste.

Genmaicha is often referred to as ‘popcorn tea’ as a few grains of the rice pop during the roasting process and resemble popcorn. This tea was first introduced in Japan as ‘people’s tea’ as the rice served as a filler and reduced the overall price of the tea, making it more available to poorer members of society. Today this beverage is saught after and enjoyed by tea lovers across the globe.

Certified Organic.

Did you know that Tea’s origin story is infused with a blend of myth and fact and colored by ancient concepts of spirituality and philosophy. Here’s our rundown of the history of tea:

LEGENDS FROM CHINA AND INDIA

According to Chinese legend, the history of tea began in 2737 B.C.E. when the Emperor Shen Nong, a skilled ruler and scientist, accidentally discovered tea. While boiling water in the garden, a leaf from an overhanging wild tea tree drifted into his pot. The Emperor enjoyed drinking the infused water so much that he was compelled to research the plant further. Legend has it that the Emperor discovered tea’s medicinal properties during his research.

Indian history of tea attributes its discovery to Prince Bodhi-Dharma, an Indian saint who founded the Zen school of Buddhism. In the year 520, he left India to preach Buddhism in China. To prove some Zen principles, he vowed to meditate for nine years without sleep. It is said that towards the end of his meditation, he fell asleep. Upon awaking, he was so distraught that he cut off his eyelids, and threw them to the ground. Legend has it that a tea plant sprung up on the spot to sanctify his sacrifice.
