<p>
Genmaicha is one of the most unique Japanese teas: a blend of green tea.

Its warm aroma, smooth flavor, and comforting profile have made it a classic for those seeking
a light, balanced tea that is easy to enjoy at any time of day.

<h2>🌾 Origin of Genmaicha: a humble tea turned into tradition</h2>
<p>
The story of Genmaicha is as special as its flavor. Its origins date back to a time when high-quality green tea was prized.
It wasn't accessible to everyone. To make it more affordable, many families began mixing green tea with roasted rice.
</p>
<p>
Over time, this mixture ceased to be just an economical solution and became a recipe appreciated for its mild flavor
and its comforting power. Today, Genmaicha is a tea valued for:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Its <strong>roasted aroma</strong> is so characteristic.</li>
<li>Its <strong>sweet, smooth and balanced profile</strong>.</li>
<li>Its <strong>low caffeine content</strong>.</li>
<li>Its <strong>welcoming and easy-to-drink</strong> character.</li>
</ul>
<p>
It is, without a doubt, one of the most <strong>cozy and everyday</strong> teas within the Japanese tradition.
