Genmai Green is our take on genmaicha — green tea blended with puffed brown rice. The rice adds a toasty, nutty flavour that rounds out the green tea's grassiness, making it comforting and easy to drink. It's a popular style in Japan, often served as an everyday tea with meals.

How does it taste

Toasty, nutty, and sweet. The puffed brown rice gives a comforting roasted character — some people say it reminds them of popcorn. The green tea base adds a lighter note underneath. Particularly good for people who find straight green tea too grassy or astringent, since the rice softens everything.

Tea profile

  • Taste: Toasty, nutty, sweet
  • Type: Blended green tea (genmaicha-style)
  • Origin: Fujian, China
  • Oxidation: 0% — non-oxidized
  • TCM Property: Cool (凉性) — refreshing, suits warm weather

  • Ingredients: Puffed brown rice and green tea

Brewing instructions

Use 2.5g of tea per 250ml teapot. Water at 80°C. Steep for 3 minutes. This tea is best in a single infusion — the rice flavour fades quickly in re-steeps.

Good as a cold brew too, where the toasty flavour becomes more subtle. See our cold brew guide.

Joanne's notes

At our Tea Bar, Genmai Green is one of the teas people pick when they want something warming and uncomplicated. The toasted rice aroma is comforting. It's also a good option if you find some green teas too strong or bitter, since the rice mellows everything out.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from light and moisture.

Dragon Pearls a delightful cup of tea

Purchased these at a market on holidays in Tassie several years ago, having been ordering ever since! My whole family love the dragon pearls, beautiful green tea and pretty to watch open up.

Best tea experience in Hobart, possibly Australia.

If you love tea or even like it this is the place to experience tea and all it conveys in a beautiful, serene setting. While in Tasdie in January 2026 I had the pleasure of being able to visit my favourite tea shop. The experience did not disappoint. The service is exceptional and the tea. Well you will have to taste it yo believe it. A must if you want something to remember tassie.

I'm so happy with this purchase, it's a beautiful design and works well. I've burned my hands so many times using a gaiwan in the past, I'm happy I found this set.
