“I like Mighty Leaf’s Kyoto Rice, but it is overpriced…you can get genmaicha tea anywhere for a lower price that is the same quality.” Read full tasting note
A green tea blend from Japan, Kyoto Rice, Mighty Leaf’s take on the classic Japanese Genmaicha consists of green tea leaves blended with popped and roasted rice. The size and color of the rich dark green leaves and balanced proportion of rice comprise the finest Genmaicha green tea available in the U.S. Savor a deep, brothy and nurturing infusion.

It’s been a real scorcher today but I just woke up from a nap (hello, vacation!) and I needed something to perk me up.
Genmaichas usually don’t impress me a lot but I like the popped corn in this one, which is something that you don’t always see. Definitely vegetal with a great, savory and brothy quality. It almost reminds me of soup. I have some genmaicha at home already so I doubt I will need to buy anymore soon, but I should probably steal this from my Dad who will never drink it. :-P
Tomorrow I am back home to chilly San Francisco and to my regular tea collection.
This is a really really tasty tea! I think I prefer Den’s Genmaicha Extra Green, but I really like this one too! (Which is good, ‘cuz I have a 4oz bag of it. :P) It’s warm and toasty, with a nice balance between the green tea and the toasted rice. Mmmm.
I am actually traveling in Kyoto at the moment and almost everywhere you order green tea (vending machines, restaurants, etc) you get it with toasted rice flavour. I did not like the flavour first time I had it back in Vanuatu. But here I like it a lot, not sure if it is due to tea quality or my changing tastes or probably both. Another side note is that in most Japanese restaurants you get served hot green tea free which is a nice tradition, all you have to do is ask for hotto Ocha (not matcha).
