Genmaicha - Japanese Popped Rice Green Tea

Story of Genmaicha - Popped Rice Green Tea

Some people call this popcorn tea, Genmai (brown rice) Cha (tea) is a type of Japanese green tea, mostly using sencha, mixing with popped brown rice or popcorn for some extra visual delights. 

Grown in the birthplace of Japanese green tea - Omi where tea farmers are still using traditional farming methods. 

Compare with normal Japanese Sencha, Genmaicha has less caffeine but more toasty sweet mellow taste from the brown rice, which is often considered rice in mineral and healthy in Asia.

Our tea master add more brown rice in our POP Genmaicha because we don't want you experience too much bitterness and caffeine. 

Smoother with a pleasant roasted underlying tone.
