Genmaïcha NUNSHEN

Discover the exclusive range of NUNSHEN teas. Genmaicha is a traditional blend of steamed green tea and roasted rice from Kirishima in southern Japan.

Low in tannins, this tea is less astringent and bitter than other green teas. With its aromas of roasted grain, freshly cut grass, lemon peel and lime, this superb blend is a pleasure to savour and is the ideal introduction for those new to green tea. According to legend, this tea takes its name from a servant called Genmai who put rice in his master's tea.

The latter, furious, cut off his head, before noticing that the tea was really good and naming it after his servant.
