Genmaicha Green Tea
Product Description
This is a specialty Japanese green tea that is blended with fire-toasted rice. There is a natural sweetness and almost chewy character to this tea due to the blend of the green tea and rice. During the firing of the rice, it is not uncommon for rice to ‘pop’ not unlike popcorn, hence the pet name ‘popcorn-tea’.
To make hot tea: This tea can be used repeatedly - about 3 times. Use water that is about 180F/80C degrees. Place 1 tsp of tea in your cup and let steep for about 3 minutes.
