It combines green tea leaves with \u003cstrong data-start=\"524\" data-end=\"564\"\u003e100% home-grown glutinous brown rice\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a cup that feels both warming and refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"880\"\u003eUnlike mass-produced genmaicha, where rice is often sourced externally and roasted mechanically, the rice used here is grown and prepared entirely on the farm. Each batch is patiently \u003cstrong data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"822\"\u003ehand-roasted\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing precise control over aroma, color, and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"987\"\u003eThe result is a tea with a gentle roasted fragrance, subtle natural sweetness, and a clean, light finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003eHand-Roasted Rice, Thoughtful Balance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1032\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003eGenmaicha is traditionally valued in Japan for its approachability and everyday drinkability. The careful roasting of glutinous brown rice brings warmth and depth, while the green tea contributes freshness and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1462\"\u003eHere, the roasting is done slowly and by hand, avoiding bitterness or burnt notes. This creates a harmonious balance where neither the rice nor the tea dominates — instead, they complement each other naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1504\"\u003ePure Cultivation, Honest Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1727\"\u003eBoth the tea leaves and the brown rice are grown following Morii Farm’s strict cultivation principles. The fields are managed without reliance on modern chemical inputs, preserving the integrity of the land and the crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1729\" data-end=\"1860\"\u003eThe tea is grown using a philosophy of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1768\" data-end=\"1859\"\u003ezero pesticides, zero chemical fertilizers, zero herbicides, and zero livestock compost\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"2048\"\u003eThis level of care is rare today, especially for genmaicha, which is often treated as a secondary tea. Here, it is approached with the same seriousness and respect as premium green teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2096\"\u003eBrewing Suggestions (Flexible and Forgiving)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2098\" data-end=\"2258\"\u003eGenmaicha is an easy and adaptable tea.

Slightly cooler water highlights freshness, while warmer water brings out the roasted character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2521\" data-end=\"2641\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2521\" data-end=\"2534\"\u003eCold brew\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2534\" data-end=\"2537\"\u003eUse 5 g per 1 liter of cold water\u003cbr data-start=\"2570\" data-end=\"2573\"\u003eSteep in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours\u003cbr data-start=\"2612\" data-end=\"2615\"\u003eStrain and enjoy chilled\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2643\" data-end=\"2743\"\u003eCold brewing emphasizes the tea’s gentle sweetness and soft roasted notes, with very low bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2745\" data-end=\"3017\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2745\" data-end=\"2764\"\u003eA note on water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2764\" data-end=\"2767\"\u003eFor best results, use filtered or low-mineral water. Hard water, common in many parts of Europe, can mute aromas and add heaviness. If your water is mineral-rich, reducing the tea amount slightly or lowering the temperature can help maintain clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"3019\" data-end=\"3046\"\u003eA Tea for Everyday Calm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3048\" data-end=\"3229\"\u003eGenmaicha is naturally gentle and lower in caffeine than many green teas, making it suitable for any time of day. Its warm, roasted character pairs well with meals or quiet moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3231\" data-end=\"3360\"\u003eThis is a tea rooted in simplicity, craftsmanship, and balance — offering comfort without heaviness and depth without complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morii","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":44421333549191,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8516\/0839\/files\/morii_genmaicha_group-1.jpg?v=1767803520","url":"https:\/\/moriitea.com\/products\/genmaicha-brown-rice-tea","provider":"MORII","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
