High-Grade Karigane Genmaicha 200g by Taniguchien

This High-Grade Karigane Genmaicha shows just how well twig tea pairs with genmaicha. It blends karigane, made from the stems of premium sencha tea, with sencha leaves and the nutty aroma of roasted brown rice, for a cup that's refreshing yet rich and well-defined.

The karigane stems add a refreshing zing that brightens up the cup, balanced by the roasted, comforting warmth of the brown rice. It's a full-bodied tea that works well in the morning or as an afternoon wind-down drink.

Taniguchien is a respected tea producer based in Uji, Kyoto, the heart of Ujicha, a tea long recognized as one of Japan's most celebrated, often counted among the "three great teas of Japan."
