Genmaicha - The Story of "The People's Tea

Immerse yourself in Japanese tradition with our Genmaicha, a singular green tea that combines the lightness of leaves with the sweetness of roasted rice grains. Born of a desire to economize on tea by adding rice - hence its nickname "tea of the people" - Genmaicha has quickly become a classic. Its slightly nutty notes and comforting aroma make it an ideal companion, whether accompanying a meal or relaxing at the end of the day.

Toasted and puffed grains add a touch of caramel and cereal, in perfect harmony with the freshness of green tea. The result is a smooth, balanced flavor, rich in history and simplicity. With each sip, discover a piece of Japanese culinary heritage, handed down from generation to generation, and let yourself be seduced by the rustic warmth and conviviality of this timeless tea.

The virtues of green tea

Rich in antioxidants

Contains polyphenols, antioxidants that help fight free radicals and reduce the risk of chronic or neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, arthritis and certain cancers.

Strengthening the immune system

Polyphenols are chemical compounds found abundantly in tea leaves, especially in fresh, unoxidized leaves, like those used to produce white and green tea. The main polyphenols found in tea are catechins, and among them, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is often considered the most important due to its powerful antioxidant properties.

Polyphenols act as antioxidants by neutralizing free radicals present in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and tissues, contributing to premature aging and various diseases, such as heart disease, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

Has anti-inflammatory effects

Reduces inflammation in muscles, bones, nerves, etc.

Help with concentration

The caffeine in tea is distributed slowly throughout the body (2-4 hours) thanks to L-Theanine, providing a feeling of stress-free wakefulness. The caffeine in coffee, on the other hand, goes directly to the nervous system (1-2 hours) and sometimes gives palpitations and a sleepy effect afterwards.

Lowers cholesterol and helps the liver function properly

The antioxidants it contains help reduce or eliminate bad cholesterol as well as prevent its accumulation. They also help improve the work of the liver
