Tea Story

In Japan, blending tea with grains is rooted in everyday life. Rice — a staple, humble, and sustaining — has long found its way into the teapot in Genmaicha, green tea that is paired with toasted rice, creating a drink that is both nourishing and accessible.

Hojicha, on the other hand, comes from a different idea: taking green tea and roasting it over high heat. This process transforms the leaf, replacing fresh, grassy notes with warmth—something closer to roasted nuts and grain.

Genmai hojicha brings these two traditions together. The roasted tea and toasted rice don’t contrast; they align. The rice amplifies the tea’s warmth, while the tea deepens the rice’s flavor. What emerges is a tea that feels familiar from the first sip — steady, uncomplicated, and meant to be part of daily rhythm.
