Genmai Buckwheat Tea
Taste: Roasted Rice, Nutty, Fresh Fig
Serving: Each bag contains 8 sachets and makes around 15 cups of tea, depending on your taste preference.
Genmaicha has long been loved for its warm, comforting character, where roasted grain turns a simple cup into something familiar and deeply satisfying. Our version keeps that same spirit, but builds a fuller and more layered expression around it. The roasted grains bring depth, nuttiness, and a gentle toasted aroma, while one whole dried fig is added as the finishing touch. Its flavor is intentionally subtle, not enough to make the blend fruity, but just enough to bring a fresh, soft sweetness that lifts the deeper roasted notes. Like the final touch that completes a dish, the fig gives the cup balance and keeps it from feeling too heavy.

Genmai
Roasted brown rice brings more than its warm, nutty aroma to the blend. Whole-grain brown rice naturally contains fiber and plant compounds such as phenolics and gamma-oryzanol, which are associated with antioxidant activity and overall metabolic wellness. Its roasted character also gives the tea a smooth, comforting body and naturally toasted sweetness.
Cassia Seed
Cassia seed, traditionally known as Jue Ming Zi in Chinese herbal practice, has long been used to support digestive regularity and eye wellness. The seeds naturally contain anthraquinones and other plant compounds with antioxidant activity, and early research has explored their potential role in supporting healthy lipid metabolism. Roasting gives cassia seed a mellow, slightly nutty character while softening its naturally herbal taste.
Our Sourcing
Tongxiang, China
Chifeng, located in Inner Mongolia, is one of northern China’s well-known grain-growing regions. Its dry climate, abundant sunshine, cool nights, and large temperature differences between day and night create favorable conditions for buckwheat to mature slowly and develop a naturally rich, nutty character. The region’s open grassland environment and relatively low rainfall also suit this resilient crop, giving the roasted buckwheat a clean grain aroma, gentle sweetness, and warm toasted finish.
