Description
Spiral Genmai Cha is a much-loved everyday green tea: green tea leaf, tea twig and roasted brown rice, sold loose in a 100 g pack. The toasted rice gives the cup a nutty, faintly popcorn character and a pale golden colour, softening the grassy edge of the leaf, which is why it is so often poured alongside rice bowls, grilled fish and tempura. Brew it hot with a meal or chill a jug for summer.
Product Strengths
- An everyday green tea to pour with rice dishes, grilled fish and fried food.
- Roasted brown rice and tea twig give it a toasted, nutty character rather than a grassy one.
- Loose leaf, so you can set the strength pot by pot and re-steep the leaf.
- Works hot or cooled down as iced tea, and takes no milk or sugar.
- 100 g loose leaf pack.
Suitable For / Not Suitable For
Suitable for: Everyday tea drinking, hot or iced, and meals where a lighter tea suits the food.
Not suitable for: Anyone with an allergy to the listed ingredients; anyone avoiding caffeine, since green tea leaf naturally contains it
Ingredients
- Brown rice.
- Tea twig.
- Tea leaves.
Nutrition Information
Read the nutrition panel from the pack.
Suggested Use
Warm the pot, add the leaf and pour on hot water that has been taken off the boil, then steep briefly and pour. Water that is too hot draws out bitterness. Drink it without milk or sugar. For iced tea, brew it a little stronger and pour it over ice. The leaf will take a second steeping. Follow the quantities and brewing directions on the pack.
Storage
Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight and strong smells, which tea leaf picks up quickly. Follow the storage directions on the pack.
Allergens
Check the pack for allergen information. Always review label for full list of ingredients.
Disclaimer
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Use it as part of a varied and balanced diet. This information is general and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare practitioner.

Is Chai Indian Spiced right for you?
Common questions
Is chai the same as regular tea?
Not quite. Chai starts with black tea, then adds spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and clove, so the flavour is warmer and spicier. Some blends also include black pepper. A packet labelled "chai" is really a black tea and spice mix, not a separate plant.
Is chai regulated as a medicine in Australia?
No. There's no entry for chai as a blend on Australia's permitted ingredients list (Schedule 1), because it's sold as a food and drink rather than a listed medicine. The individual spices in it, such as cinnamon and ginger, each have their own entry when they're used in a supplement, but that's separate from a cup of tea.
