“this flavor is really intoxicating. the green tea just goes so well with the toasted rice, it makes for a delicious combination. it tasted almost like popcorn, but not in a bad movie theater...” Read full tasting note
“Funny that this is the Gen Mai Cha that “started it all” for me. A box of this was in the break room at work instead of the regular CS green tea. Now I taste it and wonder what I was so turned on...” Read full tasting note

Description

“Green tea was scarce in postwar Japan, so peasant farmers added toasted brown rice to extend their supplies. Today, Gen Mai Cha (or “brown rice tea”) is enjoyed around the world. Our version combines green tea, nutty toasted rice and a traditional powdered green tea called matcha to create a delicious blend suitable for everyone — rich or poor."

—Charlie Baden, Celestial Seasonings Blendmaster
