Genmaicha is a blend of Sencha green tea and roasted brown rice, traditionally enjoyed as an everyday tea in Japan. It has a comforting, savoury character with nutty, popcorn-like notes balanced by the freshness of green tea. Its origins trace back to Japan’s Edo period, between the 17th and 19th centuries. During times of economic hardship, rice was precious and green tea could be expensive. Adding roasted rice extended the tea supply, making it more accessible to households of modest means. But beyond its delicious popcorn flavour, Genmaicha reflects something deeper. It is a tea of reverence. Reverence for resources. Reverence for simplicity. Reverence for making enough, be enough.
Ingredients: Sencha green tea leaf (naturally contains caffeine) and roasted brown rice.
Dose: Steep 1 teaspoon per cup of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Enjoy as is.
Aroma: Toasty, savoury green
Therapy: Genmaicha provides the antioxidant benefits of green tea, including catechins that support cellular protection and metabolic health, while the roasted brown rice offers a grounding, gentle quality that can soothe digestion. Its lower perceived bitterness and moderate caffeine content also make it a calming, supportive tea for daily use.
Quality & Craftsmanship: Our teas and tisanes are produced in small, bespoke batches, hand-crafted in Australia using certified organic, carefully sourced botanicals. Each blend is created with intention, honouring both the integrity of the ingredients and the rituals they support. We are committed to minimal waste and environmental responsibility at every stage. Our cartons are proudly manufactured in Australia from strong, durable cardboard and are 100% recyclable. The cellophane we use is derived from natural cellulose (a glucose polymer sourced from wood, cotton, or hemp) and is fully biodegradable. Our amber glass jars are designed for longevity, reusable, enduring, and protective. Amber glass shields delicate botanicals from light exposure, preserving their potency, aroma, and therapeutic value. Apotheca by Anthia is proudly 100% Australian owned and made.
Natural Variations: Variations in flavour, colour, and texture are a natural reflection of the living ingredients we use. Differences arise from seasonality, soil health, origin, and the cut of each botanical. As small-batch producers, we maintain exceptional quality control, ensuring every blend meets our standards while honouring the inherent diversity of nature. These variations are not flaws, but a testament to authenticity.
Tisane vs Tea: A tisane refers to a herbal infusion made from flowers, leaves, roots, seeds, or fruits, and is naturally caffeine-free. Tea, in the traditional sense, refers specifically to preparations made from the leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. This includes white, green, oolong, black teas and everything in between, all of which naturally contain caffeine in varying amounts.
