Nusa Genmaicha
Description
Origin
Nusa Genmaicha begins with Yabukita tea cultivar, one of Japan’s most widely recognised tea cultivars, known for its balanced flavour, fresh aroma, and gentle umami. Grown in the highlands of West Java, the green tea is blended with carefully roasted rice to create a warm and comforting Japanese-style tea.
The roasted rice adds depth and a subtle nutty sweetness while softening the sharper edges of green tea. Together, the Yabukita tea and toasted rice create a harmonious balance between freshness, savoury character, and warmth.

Tea Description
The liquor is pale golden with a warm aroma of toasted grains and subtle sweetness. Fresh vegetal notes from the green tea blend naturally with the nutty, savoury character of roasted rice.
Smooth and mellow on the palate, Nusa Genmaicha finishes lightly sweet and comforting. The result is a balanced tea that feels familiar yet distinctive, equally enjoyable on its own or alongside food.
