I dressed a genmaicha from Japan, grown in Miyazaki, with a cherry blossom flavouring, rose petals and a touch of spirulina for colour. The toasted rice in the genmaicha gives it that familiar roundness, warmed here by a floral, spring-like touch.

Steeping timer

Genmaicha is best with a short steep: 1 to 2 minutes at 80-90°C to keep the toasted rice crisp on the palate and avoid bitterness.

CompositionA floral genmaicha from Miyazaki

The base is a genmaicha from Japan, grown in Miyazaki: green tea paired with toasted brown rice, for that gentle popcorn signature that defines genmaicha.

Cherry blossom, rose and spirulina

I added a natural cherry blossom flavouring, rose petals for the eye and the nose, and a touch of spirulina that enhances the blend's green colour without changing its taste.

CraftThe pairing of toasted and floral

Genmaicha is already a comforting tea by nature, thanks to the toasted rice. The challenge was adding a floral note without erasing that roundness: the cherry blossom stays discreet, in the background, so the genmaicha doesn't turn into a sugary perfume.

Who is it for?

  • To discover: for anyone who loves classic genmaicha and wants a more floral variation.
  • For spring: a cup evocative of cherry trees in bloom, to enjoy all year round.
  • For the evening: a mild green tea, with more measured caffeine than a sencha.

TipsMy brewing protocol

In the cup

I recommend 3 to 4g per 250ml of water at 80-90°C, steeped for just 1 to 2 minutes: the toasted rice and cherry blossom release quickly, and a steep that's too long brings out bitterness.

Second infusion

Genmaicha lends itself well to a second infusion, a little longer (2 to 3 minutes), for a lighter but still fragrant cup.

Little ritual: I serve it in a light-coloured cup, to enjoy the colour enhanced by the spirulina even before the first sip.
FAQFrequently asked questions
Origin Where does this genmaicha come from?

The base is a genmaicha grown in Miyazaki, Japan, then flavoured with cherry blossom and rose petals.

Spirulina Why is there spirulina in a tea?

Here it's used only to intensify the blend's green colour; it doesn't alter the taste of the genmaicha.

Caffeine Is this tea suitable in the evening?

Genmaicha is naturally milder in caffeine than a classic sencha, thanks to the share of toasted rice in the blend.

Organic Is this blend certified organic?

No, this blend is not certified organic at this time.
