After World War II, green tea supplies in Japan were greatly depleted. To extend their precious supply and to bring the cost of tea down, peasant farmers began adding toasted brown rice to the green tea. Saphara Gen Mai Cha is made with sencha green tea, which is plucked and gently steamed the same day to produce the smoothest flavor and retain the most delicate character of the green tea leaf. The delicate sweetness of sencha green tea enhanced with the nutty flavor of rice remains a favorite blend today and is enjoyed by people of all classes all over the world.

Saphara's silken pyramid bags are specially designed to allow water to flow around the ingredients, giving them room to expand and revealing the depth and complexity of the flavors. The entire Saphara package is made from biodegradable materials including the pyramid bags, string, tag, overwrap and carton.
