Some say genmaicha originated in the 15th-century Muromachi period, when Japanese farmers began mixing roasted brown rice with green tea to make their supply last longer.
Others tell the story of a Kyoto tea farmer in the early 1900s, who supposedly created genmaicha so that his village could feel more full on less.
Whichever story you believe, genmaicha remains a cherished tea, loved for its nutty aroma, smooth taste, and deep cultural roots <3
