A Mainer’s take on the Japanese tea style genmaicha. Its sweet-and-savory aroma and nutty taste is warm and comforting. Like your favorite flannel.

Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese blend of green tea and toasted rice. In this version the green tea is traded for nutrient-dense kelp, resulting in a naturally caffeine-free pick-me-up.

Seaweed tea is good for you! Seaweeds contain around 60 trace minerals that are vital to human health -- notably iodine, potassium, calcium, iron and magnesium. What else is in there? Vitamins, plus omega-3 and omega-6, essential amino acids and antioxidants.
