Description
Genmaicha (玄米茶) is a type of Japanese tea made by mixing sencha or bancha with roasted rice. Though there are different types, 1:1 ratio of roasted rice and bancha is regarded as the standard genmaicha. Because the tea leaf used is half the amount of usual tea, genmaicha contains less caffeine compared to sencha or other green tea. It is also known as “brown rice tea” or “popcorn tea” due to the inclusion of popped rice kernels. It is mild and mellow sweet perfect to pair with any dessert or serve alone.
