Due to the special cultivars, climate, and quality of the tea leaves, this type of tea is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and microelements. The highest quality green teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally processed to prevent oxidation and to keep the tea leaf in its original chemical composition. Green tea regulates body temperature and is very good in the summertime.
During the research over the past few decades, it has been discovered that green tea reduces the risk of heart disease, cleans the circulatory system, strengthens blood vessels, reduces blood pressure, lowers blood sugar, prevents the development of cancer cells, and relieves nervous tension.

TEA WITH ROASTED RICE
ORIGIN
Genmaicha is a unique tea, known in Japan for a long time. Due to the high price of green tea, people started to add rice to make it more affordable. Traditional Genmaicha is made from Bancha, which is cheaper green tea than Sencha. Genmaicha is also called "Folk tea" due to its availability. Nowadays there are higher quality variations like Sencha Genmaicha or even Gyokuro Genmaicha. Low caffeine makes this tea a great choice for evening tea sessions. With all the beneficial properties of green tea, Genmaicha tea cleanses the body, improves digestion, and strengthens the immune system. Delicious and unique tea deserves special attention.
ORGANOLEPTIC
Dry tea has a very delicate and sweet aroma with notes of rice crackers, nuts, and waffles. After the first infusion aroma develops into intense salty, sea motifs with notes of seaweed, nori, sushi, and chips. The taste is multifaceted and deep with clear roasted seed notes. One-of-a-kind tea that is worth trying.
