Genmai Nikomaru Medium Roast

Japanese Roasted Brown Rice with Deeply Nutty Aromas and Balanced, Comforting Flavour "Genmai" is a roasted brown rice, traditionally blended with Japanese green tea to create the beloved Genmaicha. However, with this Genmai Nikomaru Medium Roast, Avantcha has chosen to forego the tea, crafting a unique, caffeine-free herbal infusion with a calming and comforting aroma. This special blend captures the full-bodied flavour of Genmaicha, featuring savoury notes of fresh popcorn, toast, and Brazil nuts. About Genmai Genmai, the roasted brown rice, hails from Japan and is famed for its distinctive aroma reminiscent of popcorn. Originally, Genmaicha - a blend of green tea and Genmai - was created to make tea more accessible and economical. Over time, the nutty, warming flavour of Genmai has captured the hearts of tea enthusiasts around the world. This Genmai Nikomaru encapsulates these characteristic aromas, providing a distinctive taste experience - all without the caffeine. Cultivation This Genmai Nikomaru comes from Mashiki in Kumamoto Prefecture, located on the southern island of Kyushu, Japan. This region is celebrated for its rich agricultural traditions and the quality of its produce. The fertile soils and mild climate offer ideal conditions for cultivating brown rice, which is carefully roasted after harvest. This meticulous preparation by skilled rice farmers, who emphasise sustainable practices, imparts Genmai Nikomaru with clear nutty notes, making it an exceptional treat.
