Senbird Premium Genmaicha – Caffeine-Free Japanese Mochi Rice Tea (3.5oz Tin)

Senbird Premium Genmaicha is a caffeine-free herbal tea crafted from roasted brown mochi rice, grown in small batches in Hokkaido, Japan. Unlike traditional Genmaicha that blends green tea leaves, this rendition centers on the bold, toasty notes of the rice itself.

From field to cup, the process emphasizes quality and purity. The fully cooked mochi rice is both edible and visually engaging, with popped pieces that resemble tiny kernels of popcorn, adding a playful texture to the brew.

Origin and craft

Hokkaido supplies the barley-like sweetness and robust aroma that defines this tea. The small-batch roasting of the mochi rice creates a distinctive, deeply roasted flavor that remains rice-forward and approachable, even without green tea.
