Yakushima Genmaicha from Hachimanjyu Tea farm isn’t just any genmaicha—it’s a tea that captures the wild beauty and rich heritage of Japan’s southern islands. The tea leaves, meticulously cultivated on the volcanic soils of Yakushima, are imbued with the island’s vitality. When these leaves are combined with organic brown rice from Kumamoto Prefecture, something extraordinary happens. The toasty, nutty aroma of the rice dances with the vibrant, vegetal essence of the green tea, creating a brew that is both comforting and invigorating.
Hachimanjyu's genmaicha is a tribute to the simplicity and purity of nature. The boldness of the flavor reflects the rugged landscapes from which its ingredients hail—every sip is like a walk through the lush forests of Yakushima, where the air is thick with the scent of earth and sea.
