Genmaicha green tea brings together green tea leaves and roasted rice in one balanced blend. Fresh tea notes form a clean base, while the roasted grains add a warm, cereal-like aroma and a mellow finish. The resulting profile is recognizable but approachable, with more roasted depth than an unblended green tea.
Genmai Cha is another common spelling, while brown rice green tea is frequently used as an English description. The dry blend has a varied appearance, with green tea leaves mixed among visible roasted and puffed rice. Once brewed, the rice adds a warm toasted note that rounds out the fresher side of the tea.
On a drink menu, genmaicha tea can sit between fresh green tea and deeper roasted flavors. It works as a straight brew but can also be paired with milk, cream or other ingredients when a concept calls for something softer and toastier than a typical green tea.

The combination of fresh tea notes and toasted rice gives the blend a clear point of difference from standard green tea bases. It can help product teams create a recognizable roasted profile without losing the freshness associated with green tea.
The warm cereal-like aroma provides a smooth transition into milk, cream or plant-based alternatives. Rather than relying on strong astringency, the tea contributes a rounded roasted character that can remain identifiable after dairy and sweetness are added.
The blend can be evaluated as hot or iced pure tea, milk tea or a tea latte. This flexibility allows beverage teams to explore several menu formats while keeping the toasted-rice character at the center of the concept.
Pure or Iced Tea: A straight brew shows the contrast between green tea freshness and roasted-rice aroma. Serving it iced produces a lighter expression while retaining the gently toasted finish.
Genmaicha Milk Tea: The roasted notes add warmth to the dairy profile. Recipe trials can balance tea concentration, milk and sweetness without losing the identity of the tea.
Genmaicha Latte: Dairy or plant-based milk can soften the green tea character while allowing the mellow, toasted aroma to remain present.
Cream-Top and Dessert Concepts: Cream tops and dessert-style ingredients can build on the tea's cereal-like qualities, creating a different direction from conventional green tea drinks.
Menu Development Support: Jupin Tea can assist with brewing and pairing trials based on the target format, sweetness level and desired intensity of the roasted aroma.
Both the tea profile and packaging format can be evaluated against the requirements of the finished product. This may include the balance of green tea freshness and roasted-rice aroma, as well as standard supply packaging or OEM/ODM options. Final specifications and minimum order quantities are confirmed for each project.

What is genmaicha green tea?
It is a green tea with roasted rice, valued for combining fresh tea notes with a warm, cereal-like aroma and a smooth taste. The roasted rice also gives the dry blend its recognizable mixed appearance.
How is genmaicha different from hojicha?
Genmaicha combines green tea leaves with roasted rice. Hojicha develops its roasted character from the roasting of the tea leaves themselves, so the source and expression of the roasted aroma are different.
