Harney & Sons Genmaicha Tea, 16 oz loose leaf

Genmaicha is a different kind of Japanese green tea that many people find intriguing. Brown rice kernels ("genmai") are added while the green Bancha leaves ("cha") are being dried, so the kernels get crispy and some burst open. Genmaicha has a unique appearance and a pleasant roasted flavor. Kosher.Harney & Sons was founded on a commitment to deliver customers the finest quality tea possible.
