Senbird Genmaicha Green Tea Loose-Leaf — 3.5oz Kyoto Blend with Matcha & Toasted Koshihikari Rice, Airtight Refillable Tin

Senbird Genmaicha Suzu is a traditional Japanese loose-leaf green tea that blends deep-steamed sencha, ceremonial matcha powder, and toasted Koshihikari brown rice for a fragrant, toasty cup.

This small-batch Genmaicha is crafted in Kyoto using sencha leaves, premium Koshihikari rice that’s deeply roasted until some grains pop, and a touch of ceremonial-grade matcha for color and umami depth. The combination delivers a comforting aroma of toasted rice, a clean vegetal body from the sencha, and a smooth finish with subtle sweetness. Packaged in refillable airtight tins, it’s designed to stay fresh while reducing single-use waste.
