Witching Hour is our rendition of a classic Japanese tea called Genmaicha, traditionally combining toasted rice and green tea. This take pairs the roasted nutty taste of forbidden black rice with the rich vegetal taste of Sencha green tea.

Snowy Owl Tea created a genuine piece of Japanese culture with this one. It is some of the most wonderful Genmaicha Green Tea I have ever tasted. The flavor can instantly transport your mind to the tragic beauty of an Akira Kurosawa movie. You can almost imagine sitting next to Sanjuro himself while sipping this incredible tea by a campfire. The aroma, as well, is both robust and corporeal. Earthly with hints of deep secrets that have grown ancient while submerged in the flooded fields of a 17th century Tanada. A truly, divinely, lovingly crafted Green Tea.
Excellent!!
I really love having a more "savory" tea. I've tried it with umami broth and it's great, but usually I just put a pinch of salt in if I don't feel like heating up a broth. Absolutely recommended to try if you want to taste something unique and exceptional.
Love this tea. It’s so fresh and intense flavors. Nothing like it !
