Genmaicha has its roots in 15th century Japan. It emerged as a clever solution to extend limited supplies of green tea by blending it with roasted brown rice. Over the centuries, it has evolved into a beloved tea, cherished for its unique flavour and potential benefits.

A cup of Genmaicha contains approximately 10-15ml of caffeine. This is roughly half of the caffeine content in classic green tea not having roasted brown rice.
