Organic Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese green tea made by blending steamed green tea leaves—usually sencha or bancha—with toasted brown rice. It has a nutty, comforting aroma and a smooth, slightly savory flavor that’s both grounding and refreshing.

While traditional green teas like sencha or matcha offer a grassy, vegetal flavor, Organic Genmaicha has a unique nutty, roasted taste thanks to its blend of toasted brown rice. It's milder in both flavor and caffeine, making it more approachable for those who find pure green teas too intense. Genmaicha also tends to feel more grounding and savory, often described as “comforting” compared to the bright, brisk profile of standard green teas.

Genmaicha provides the antioxidants and gentle energy boost of green tea, with added digestive comfort from the roasted rice. It's lower in caffeine than many other green teas, making it a great choice for a midday or evening cup that supports focus without overstimulation.

This organic genmaicha tea delivers a light, earthy flavor with toasted brown rice that customers love for daily enjoyment. Most praise its "nutty/popcorn blend" and delicate taste. However, some found the flavor less robust than expected, wanting a stronger toasted rice profile. The tea is valued for being organic and well-crafted, though a few noted it lacks brightness.

A Smooth, Light, Naturally "Sweet" Green Tea

When I first tried this tea at a hibachi restaurant, I fell in love with it. The roasted brown rice fills out the flavor profile wonderfully and even adds what I feel like is a gentle sweetening effect through the nuttiness. This genmaicha tea from Full Leaf Tea Co was everything I hoped it would be. I am grateful to know where to get high-quality genmaicha tea when my cravings strike!

Hi there! We're so glad you enjoyed our Organic Genmaicha and that it brought back good memories. Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing Full Leaf Tea Company. We look forward to serving you again!

It tasted ricey like I had hoped. Very balanced & necessarily good!

More toasty rice please!

Genmaicha has always been my favorite green tea, but I like a stronger toasty rice flavor than I'm getting from this one. Will try brewing it with more in the infuser, as brewing longer would make the tea bitter. Unfortunately, I assumed I'd enjoy this more and ordered a larger bag. May try adding some toasted rice to it if I can find some without salt/sugar added. In this tea's defense, I'm realizing the green tea just isn't my favorite and that I usually find it a bit too bitter, even when not over-steeped. Did follow brewing instructions on temp / length of brew.

excellent quality and taste

I absolutely love drinking this tea every morning.

Delicious Organic Tea!

I love this tea, I drink it daily and have other tea varieties from Full Leaf. Grateful for clean, delicious teas!

Great Genmaicha

Great light tea…love that it’s organic!

Organic Genmaicha

Hello I love our Heavenly Father God and our Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ whom is sitting at His right hand side. They are soo loving, kind and awesome. I always like to share my faith love and trust in the Holy Bible before I write a review. This tea was fantastic. I enjoyed the smell of it as I sipped. I enjoyed tasting the rice within the tea . I purchased matcha separately and mixed the two. Trying this tea was nice experience.

This tea doea not have the robust flavor of other Genmaicha I’ve enjoyed in the past. I will not be likely to order again.

Hi Heather,

This is such a special green tea. The toasted brown rice adds so much flavor and compliments the tea nicely.

Fresh and delicious!

After living in Japan I need my genmaicha and this one is perfect!

My favorite new green tea!

The tea is very delicate and very pale in color but the aroma of toasted rice when the hot water hits the tea is amazing! I think that’s what I like most about this tea! And the delicate taste. It’s my new favorite and I’d recommend this one to try.

Hi Monika,

We're so happy you found your new favorite green tea Thank you so much for your support!

Soothing

Really enjoying this blend as it's subtle yet capable of being full flavored and powerful at the same time.

Very good

This is my everyday afternoon tea. It has a nice rich taste but not the brightness that I was looking for. I also wished there was more of a toasted flavor as well.

Favorite!!!

This is my favorite green tea, but can be hard to find in organic and not overly processed. This one is perfect! I love having the insulated tea diffuser mug too. So convenient!

Gen Maicha

I was so excited to see that the company had been acquired and released my favorite tea.
So disappointed in the flavor, while it is a good green tea it lacks the delicious roasted rice flavor that it used to have!

Absolutely the best

This is now my go to.

Love the earthy taste of this tea.

Delicious!

Very pleased with this genmaicha- it's lovely and mellow and deliciously toasty tasting

Satisfactory, not great

I became a fan of Genmaicha several years ago. This is my first order from Full Leaf, I was not impressed. The flavor is very faint. Not bad, just not as strong as I prefer. I will have to overload my infuser, use twice as much tea in the process.

Hi Laura,

We are sorry to hear that our Organic Genmaicha isn't your cup of tea! Please feel free to reach out to support@fullleaftc.com so we can help you find a new tea that hits the spot!

A mild comfort tasting TEA(**)
Enjoy it through the day

Great tea!

Love this variety of green tea. Nice aroma and taste.

Just like the Japanese serve

My wife and I used to buy this from a sushi restaurant.
This is a "toasty" green tea...love it!

Awesome tea!

Honestly so far every tea that I have bought from Full Leaf Tea Company has been amazing:
Matcha, different varieties, Chamomile, Earl gray…
This Organic Genmaicha, is the best I have tasted. Love its satisfyingly nutty taste and balanced sweetness. Definitely delicious. Thank you.

Organic Genmaicha U Rock

I have had a few tea's from you guys. However this one is on another level. The taste between the roasted brown rice, the green tea is absolutely heavenly. The two compliment each other. The flavor profile is mind blowing. It's light and refreshing. Nice boost of energy. Such a relaxing , well balanced flavor. this tea is insane. This particular tea IMHO might actually be an underrated secret gem. Well done team FULL LEAF TEA CO. EXQUISITE!
