At a glance: Our organic Yukihime Genmaicha blends green Bancha with toasted, puffed rice grains. Brewing: 70-80°C, 1 to 2 min, 12-15 g/L.

Yukihime, meaning "snow princess," evokes the whiteness of puffed rice grains nestled among green leaves. This Genmaicha is part of our single-origin teas, a collection dedicated to pure teas and traditional recipes.

Rooted in an age-old recipe, this tea brings together two humble ingredients: a green Bancha and roasted, puffed rice. The result is smooth, comforting and welcoming to all palates. Explore our other green teas to continue the journey.

The aromatic profile of Yukihime Genmaicha

In the cup, the liquor takes on a soft yellow-green hue with a gentle golden tint. On the nose, clear notes of toasted rice and roasted hazelnut open up, carried by the fresh, vegetal character typical of Bancha.

On the palate, the roundness of the puffed rice softens the brightness of the green tea. You'll find notes of fresh grass, a gentle cereal quality reminiscent of warm popcorn, and a long, smooth finish with no harsh bitterness.

This approachable, flavourful profile makes Genmaicha a wonderful first step into the world of green teas. It pairs beautifully with a light meal, an afternoon treat, shortbread biscuits or fresh cheese. To compare styles, read our guide to Hojicha, Genmaicha and Gyokuro.

How to brew Yukihime Genmaicha

Brewing is straightforward and forgiving. Use 12 to 15 g per litre of soft, low-mineral water, roughly one heaped tablespoon for a 500 ml teapot. A gentle spring water works best.

Heat the water to 70-80°C: too hot, and it will draw out bitterness from the Bancha and mask the cereal notes of the rice. A thermometer does the job, or simply let boiling water rest for 2 minutes before pouring.

Pour over the leaves and rice grains, steep for 1 to 2 minutes, then strain. The leaves hold up well to a second infusion, slightly shorter than the first, which brings out further cereal nuances and an even softer sweetness.

Serve plain, without sugar or milk, in a fine porcelain cup to appreciate the colour and fragrance. Enjoy this Genmaicha at breakfast, mid-afternoon or in the evening: its gentleness makes it wonderfully versatile. Try Yukihime as part of your daily ritual.

Storage

Store your Genmaicha in an airtight, opaque container, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Packaged in our workshop, it retains its aromas for several months after opening, as long as the container is properly resealed.

Frequently asked questions

What is Genmaicha?
Genmaicha is a green tea that combines tea leaves (often a Bancha or Sencha) with roasted, puffed rice grains. The combination creates a smooth, lightly cereal drink with notes of toasted hazelnut and fresh grass.

How do I brew Genmaicha?
Use 12 to 15 g of leaves per litre, water at 70-80°C and steep for 1 to 2 minutes. You can re-steep the leaves a second time to extend the tasting experience. Read our guide to go further.

What is the difference between Genmaicha and Sencha?
Sencha is a pure green tea, bright and vegetal. Genmaicha adds puffed rice to the base tea (here a Bancha), bringing roundness and toasty notes. It is generally smoother and more accessible than Sencha on its own.

Where can I buy organic Genmaicha?
You can order this organic Yukihime Genmaicha directly from our online shop, within our single-origin green tea collections, hand-selected by our family house.
