| Japanese legend tells of a servant named Gen Mai who created this tea after rice fell from his pocket into a samurai's pot. The result was a nutty flavor that enriched the lively clean taste of Sencha, a traditional Japanese green tea. Picked in the spring, its needle-like leaves are rolled, flattened and steamed then blended with toasted rice to create a savory brew. With a bright yellow hue and robust aroma, Gen Mai Cha is a hearty and popular tea commonly served at meals, as it cleanses the palate.

 best green tea ever |

| I actually bought one box of this on a whim when I saw it at TJ Maxx. I have always liked green tea but this variety is superior to anything I've ever had before. The taste is very smooth and a bit nutty. I went back to the store to buy the rest of the boxes but they were all gone! So sad. Lucky for me, Amazon sells this...and in bulk. Lovely. |
Numi Toasted Rice Green Tea - Smooth & Delicious!

With recent news about the extraordinary health benefits of green tea, it seems every familiar supermarket brand is rolling out their twists on this ancient herbal beverage. While their offerings are diverse, it can be argued that the flavor and quality could be better.
That's what sets Numi Tea's Toasted Rice Green Tea apart from the rest of the brands and flavors. This Organic variety is a perfect blend of aroma and taste, offering a smooth, relaxing beverage from first to last sip.
Numi's bags are individually wrapped in foil pouches to help preserve freshness. The tea within each bag is what you might expect to see if you were buying loose tea: coarse and irregular, with very little dust. Very little dust means very little bitterness on the palate. When the easy-to-follow brewing instructions on the foil pouch are followed, the result is a perfectly refreshing cup of Toasted Rice Green tea. Numi describes the flavor as "nutty savory & smooth."
If you are curious about trying a new green tea or you already love the taste of the Gen Mai Cha flavor from your favorite Japanese restaurant, this Numi Organic variety is a winner. |
Unique and Quite Lovely Green Tea

*****
I have tasted lots and lots of green teas, and this Gen Mai Cha is so different from any other one I've ever tried! It says on the package that it is nutty and savory and smooth---this is all true. I would add that it has a flavor that does indeed taste like toasted rice, and feels like a "comfort food" too---just so unique and yummy! It looks just like regular tea, and you can't discern anything that is rice-like about it, except in the taste. The package says that it is a "medium caffeine" tea.
The only ingredients in this tea are organic Sencha Green tea and toasted rice, but the flavors are complex and interesting and exotic. I have only had a few cups but I can tell that I will order this tea again and again.
This is worth a try for everyone really, for those like me who love green tea, or for those who don't like it and want something different.
Highly recommended.

| I really wish this wasn't so expensive since I absolutely love it. I wasted tons of money on gross green teas until I found this one at a discount store. I ended up going back and buying the last two boxes. Needs no sweetening, it's a smooth yuumy way to start your day. |
One of the best teas ever

| Numi teas never disappoint for fragrance, flavor... if you like green tea and love the fragrance of toasted rice (that would be me), you'll really enjoy this tea hot. It's pretty good cold, as well. |

| This has become one of my favorite Green Tea products from Numi. However, with the change in its tea packaging, I did notice that the "toasted rice" flavor has not been as potent as it used to be. I still enjoy it, though. |
Great tea guys.

| Item shipped fast. I just want to say I've been an occasional tea drinker the last few years. The first time I tried this tea I thought the taste was extremely unique and and I was hooked since then. This tea is now a part of my morning routine and I highly recommend it to anyone. |
good stuff

| I do not consider myself a fan of green tea, I don't hate it but I never loved it, more of a black tea gal! anyhow as I was preparing for 90 days of intense testing for graduate school a friend recommended that I drink green tea to help stimulate my mind...I picked this up because I thought the "rice" component was interesting. It is very yummy has a nutty flavor to it and isn't too strong. I use it to make Moroccan Mint tea (essentially green tea with mint leaves and sugar). I plan to keep on drinking this as part of my normal tea routine now! I must say I am curious about Numi's other green tea (gun powder) perhaps I will try that next box. |
