Rose City Genmaicha

A delicious Oregon twist on Japanese Genmaicha. Combines the light, nutty flavor of roasted rice with a grassy green tea character and rose petal finish—all softened by a kiss of sweet manuka honey.

Ingredients:  Japanese sencha, genmai (roasted rice), Mao Feng green tea from China, red and pink rose petals, bergamot oil.

Sourced from China, the Rose City Genmaicha is a unique offering from Evans Brothers Coffee. This selection presents a distinct profile characterized by nutty and grassy undertones, complemented by delicate floral notes of rose petal and the rich, lingering sweetness of manuka honey.

When evaluating coffees with such nuanced, botanical-forward profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between savory, herbal, and sweet characteristics. While general categories of tea-like or floral coffees often highlight the importance of processing methods in preserving volatile aromatics, this specific lot showcases the diverse potential of Chinese coffee production. By balancing earthy, grassy foundations with refined floral and honeyed sweetness, this roast offers a complex experience that bridges the gap between traditional coffee profiles and the aromatic qualities often found in fine teas.
