Senbird Genmaicha Tsukimi Caffeine-Free Roasted Brown Mochi Rice Tea (3.5oz) — Bold Toasted Aroma, Hot or Cold Brew

This Genmaicha variant removes green tea leaves and uses fully cooked, roasted mochi brown rice for a naturally caffeine-free infusion with a distinct popcorn-like texture. Small-batch roasted in Hokkaido and packaged in an airtight tin, it’s non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, and tested for radiation and metals, making it a clean pantry staple for everyday sipping.

How does Senbird Genmaicha Tsukimi taste and smell?

The tea delivers a strong roasted rice aroma with a gentle, nutty-sweet finish—less vegetal than green-tea blends and more like toasted cereal or light caramelized corn. Because the rice is fully cooked before roasting, the cup carries toasty, savory notes without bitterness.

• Pronounced roasted rice fragrance, pleasantly bold.
• Subtle nutty-sweet flavor with savory undertones.
• Clean, non-bitter finish suitable for multiple infusions.

How do I brew this loose roasted brown rice tea?

Use about 1 tablespoon per 8 oz of water; steep in near-boiling water (around 90–100°C / 194–212°F) for 2–4 minutes depending on desired strength. The tea is forgiving—shorter brews yield delicate aroma, longer steeping intensifies roasted notes.

• Hot brew: 1 tbsp per cup; steep 2–4 minutes.
• Cold brew: use 1.5–2 tbsp per quart; refrigerate 6–12 hours.
• Edible popped rice can be strained and eaten or left in the cup for texture.

What makes this Genmaicha different from typical genmaicha?

Unlike conventional Genmaicha that mixes green tea leaves with roasted rice, Senbird Tsukimi is pure roasted brown mochi rice — fully cooked and edible — so the profile centers on rice rather than green tea catechins or caffeine. The product emphasizes purity and traceability, including testing for contaminants.

• No green tea leaves—100% roasted mochi brown rice.
• Caffeine-free, non-GMO, and free from additives or preservatives.
• Small-batch Hokkaido sourcing and safety testing for metals and radiation.

How can I enjoy this tea throughout the day?

Because it contains no caffeine, this Genmaicha suits morning, afternoon, and evening routines. Serve it hot for comforting depth, chilled for a refreshing iced tea, or use the toasted grains as a crunchy garnish on cereal or dessert for an unexpected texture note.

• Morning cup for savory balance without caffeine.
• Cold-brewed iced tea for summer refreshment.
• Snack or garnish: edible roasted rice adds crunch and flavor.

Who is this for: Senbird Genmaicha Tsukimi is aimed at tea lovers seeking a caffeine-free, naturally flavored Japanese tea with a strong toasted character. It’s ideal for people avoiding caffeine, those who prefer grain-forward beverages over leafy green flavors, and anyone who appreciates small-batch, tested specialty pantry items. The 3.5oz airtight tin keeps loose roasted rice fresh for daily enjoyment or occasional brewing, and its edible popped rice gives cooks and beverage enthusiasts room to experiment.
