Genmaicha Green - Black Tea Isn’t Green Tea Gone Wrong
Genmaicha is a cup that begins with colour—pale, yellow-green, clear enough to see the bottom. The grains catch the eye, toasted gold, a few burst open, but it’s the leaves beneath that do the work, darkening and deepening as they steep. Every true tea, green or black, starts from the same plant, but what happens after picking changes everything. Some things are kept green, caught at the moment, while others are left to darken and become something else entirely. Most are allowed to change. Both end up in someone’s hands, on a morning like this.
