Japan Genmaicha 250g

Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese recipe that combines puffed rice with green tea leaves to produce a tea with a distinctive sweet and nutty taste. The rich toasty flavor of this verdant Sencha is derived from the puffed Genmai, a type of brown rice that is mixed with the flat green tea leaves. This tea is an ideal choice to unwind with at the end of the day. One of the more popular green teas. Pairs well with Asian food. In translation the name means "unpolished rice." Refreshing and light, the tea retains aromas of toasted rice, which adds a body and sweetness to the finish. Often served at Japanese restaurants, Genmaicha has more body than other greens and goes well with meals. Light, golden yellow liquor with a unique, slightly sweet, toasted flavor resembling popcorn.

We recommend to steep tea leaves in hot water at 75°-85°C
