Yamamotoyama 1690 Genmai Green

Talking with one another
Enjoying a bowl of green tea
Flowers shrouded in mist
Bloom amidst the clouds
-- Nishikoribe No Hikogimi (9th century) An informal, convivial drink in Japan, Genmai is shared at home with friends. This unique brew is made from green tea and brown rice. It has a light golden color in the cup, and a nut-like flavor and aroma.

In 1690, Japan was ruled by the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Manchus had repelled the Mongols, Louis XIV ruled in splendor from his new palace in Versailles, Czar Peter had just attained the throne and Johann Sebastian Bach was five years old. And that same year in Japan, the Yamamoto family began producing premium teas, a tradition that continues to this day. More than three centuries of experience go into the selection and processing of Yamamotoyama Teas, among the finest in the world.
