Genmaicha is a sweet, slightly nutty, aromatic, rusty coloured tea. Its flavour – the one we know from sushi bars and Japanese restaurants – is exceptionally memorable. Legend has it that a servant to the Hakone shogun accidentally served his master a tea with some stolen grains of rice that he had in his pocket. This mistake cost him his life, but the shogun liked the taste so much that he decided to include it in his daily diet. This is how genmaicha, today known also as „popcorn tea”, came about. It was once considered to be a drink of the lower classes, as people used to add cheap rice grains to increase the volume of pure sencha. Moya Genmaicha is organically cultivated on the island of Kyushu.
Genmaicha tea contains medium levels of caffeine. It helps the digestive system, so it is traditionally served with meals. During long periods of fasting, Buddhist monks often support themselves with just genmaicha. Like other Japanese green teas, genmaicha is a rich source of catechins and antioxidants. Drinking genmaicha helps in slowing down the ageing processes, getting rid of toxins, reducing bad cholesterol, reducing sugar levels and improving dental health. Genmaicha is recommended in prevention of various diseases as its leaves contain easily absorbable vitamin C, beta carotene, folic acid, potassium, calcium and phosphorus.

Sweet and invigorating organic green tea with a grassy and slightly salty flavour. It is the most popular tea in Japan and a perfect gentle introduction to the joys of green teas. When infused, Sencha No. 21 gives a full-bodied flavour and a greenish golden colour. Sencha makes a perfect morning tea.
Sencha is recommended as a morning drink, since its early-picked leaves have an extremely high level of stimulating caffeine and sencha is known to speed up metabolism. Just like other Japanese green teas, it is not only a rich source of catechins but also one of most powerful natural antioxidants. Drinking sencha helps in slowing down the ageing processes, getting rid of toxins, reducing bad cholesterol, keeping sugar levels in check and improving dental health. Its leaves contain easily absorbable vitamin C, beta carotene, folic acid, potassium, calcium and phosphorus. Just like matcha tea, sencha is a well-known mood-booster.

A Japanese invention, hojicha is made by roasting sencha green tea leaves. When grilled, the tea leaves take on a crimson brown colour and a unique woody aroma. The roasting process lowers hojicha’s caffeine content which makes it one of the preferred teas in the macrobiotic diet and a perfect evening tea.
Due to its unique production process, hojicha is a tea that has exceptionally low caffeine content as it is reduced during the roasting process. Pregnant women, children and elderly in Japan often drink hojicha and it’s a common evening tea. Hojicha is valued for its extraordinary flavour and aroma, and it also has many properties that are beneficial to our health. Just like other Japanese green teas, hojicha is a rich source of catechins and antioxidants. Drinking hojicha is good for the digestion, and it also delays the ageing processes, helps to get rid of toxins, reduces bad cholesterol and keeps the sugar levels normal. Its leaves contain easily absorbable vitamin C, beta-carotene, folic acid, potassium, calcium and phosphorus.
