Uncover the unique, nutty sweetness of Genmaicha Green Tea. Each cup is a mix of Bancha green tea, popped corn, and toasted rice from Kyoto, designed to give you a low-caffeine and low-acid beverage with added antioxidants and vitamins. Enjoy a soothing, guilt-free cup of tea that's rich in health benefits.

Kyoto was the birthplace of genmaicha, where legend tells of a tea farmer who mixed roasted brown rice (as a filler) in with his cheapest blends so that poor people could afford a pound of “tea” and get some extra vitamins and minerals along with the tea.

Genmaicha contains very little caffeine and is much less acidic than other teas because of the starch from the rice. The tea contains a range of antioxidants as well as ascorbic acid, both of which are thought to aid the immune system.

The caffeine content in green loose leaf tea can vary depending on factors such as the type of green tea, the size of the tea leaves, and brewing conditions. On average, an 8 oz cup of green loose leaf tea typically contains between 20 to 45 milligrams of caffeine. Some green teas may contain more caffeine, especially if they are made from younger leaves or are processed in a way that retains more caffeine.
