Genmaicha Powder

Genmaicha is a legendary, traditional Japanese tea favourite that beautifully combines the fresh, uplifting qualities of green tea with the deeply comforting aroma of toasted brown rice. Historically known in Japan as "popcorn tea" because some of the rice grains pop during the roasting process, it offers an incredible, complex flavour profile. By carefully milling this premium green tea blend into an ultra-fine powder - like matcha - it can be freshly whisked into hot water or plant-based milk to produce a traditional genmaicha or genmaicha latte. Our Great Taste Award-Winning Organic Genmaicha Powder allows you to discover a smooth, full-bodied cup with a distinctively savoury, warm, and nutty toasted aroma, perfectly balanced by the clean, vibrant undertones of single origin Japanese green tea sourced from Wazuka.

Yes, our Organic Genmaicha Powder contains caffeine, but its caffeine level is much lower than pure matcha or coffee. Because the blend is composed of high-quality green tea leaves mixed approximately 50/50 with caffeine-free toasted brown rice, the total amount of caffeine per serving is therefore naturally cut in half. This makes it an exceptional choice for a gentle afternoon pick-me-up or a relaxing post-meal digestif that won't give you sudden energy crashes or jitters. It remains incredibly soothing and gentle on the stomach.

Genmaicha powder blends organic green tea with toasted brown rice, creating a distinctive, savoury character. Matcha, on the other hand, is made from specially grown green tea leaves that are processed and finely ground into a vibrant green powder, known for its rich, vegetal flavour. Ghost Matcha Organic Genmaicha Powder offers a convenient way to enjoy this Japanese tea classic in a finely milled format. While matcha is prized for its fresh, grassy umami-rich taste, genmaicha offers a more mellow, toasted flavour profile. Both teas contain caffeine, but genmaicha powder may contain less per serving than matcha because part of the blend consists of naturally caffeine-free toasted brown rice rather than tea leaves. The actual caffeine content varies by serving size and preparation method.
