KUNUGI - Certified Organic Single Cultivar Brown Rice Green Tea from Shizuoka

KUNUGI is a tea that embodies quiet warmth and gentle strength - the aroma of roasted rice mingling with the freshness of spring leaves, like sunlight filtering through a forest canopy. Smooth, nourishing, and deeply grounding, it’s a cup that comforts the senses and restores inner balance.

What Makes KUNUGI Special

  • A Comforting Harmony
    Blending roasted brown rice with organic first-flush Ichibancha leaves, KUNUGI offers a beautiful balance between warmth and freshness. The toasty aroma of rice brings a sense of comfort, while the spring tea adds a clean, green vitality
  • Pioneering Organic Farm
    Sourced from a family-run organic farm in the lush mountains of Shizuoka, where tea has been cultivated naturally since the 1970s. Every batch is certified organic under Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS) and produced without synthetic pesticides or additives
  • The 1st Flush Difference
    Crafted from the very first harvest of spring, these tender leaves are rich in nutrients and natural sweetness, offering a refinement rarely found in everyday Genmaicha

Wellness Benefits

Naturally low in caffeine, Genmaicha is soothing on both body and mind, perfect for moments of calm throughout the day or as a gentle evening tea. The combination of green tea’s antioxidants and roasted rice’s comforting warmth supports digestion, promotes relaxation, and helps maintain steady energy without the jitters. A tea to unwind, rebalance and feel at ease.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

AROMA

A warm, nutty, and toasty scent similar to roasted grains or popcorn

TASTE

Harmonious blend of savoury & freshness. A mild, slightly vegetal and a hint of floral notes of the green tea complemented by the full and toasty flavour from the roasted rice. The finish is refreshing with very mild astringent and a hint of sweetness

HOW TO ENJOY IT?

Genmaicha is a warm & comforting tea which brews into a bold & golden cup with a heart warming flavour and very mild astringency

  1. Heat Water: Heat up filtered water, cool it down using a water cooler to 80-85°C (Using water that is too hot will bring out the bitterness in tea) 
  2. Measure Tea: Add 5g (approx. 1-2 teaspoon) of tea leaves per 250ml of water to your teapot
  3. Steep: Steep for around 1-2 minutes for the 1st infusion. For subsequent infusions, extend the time to around 2-3 minutes
  4. Pour: Pour the tea into your cup (or back to the water cooler), make sure to get every last drop to prevent the leaves from over-steeping.
  5. Enjoy: This tea is beautiful on its own

STORAGE TIPS

To keep your tea leaves fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and odours. Ensure the bag is tightly sealed, and gently press out as much air as possible before closing it
