Genmaicha is Japanese green tea mixed with toasted brown rice. The rice gives the cup a warm, nutty flavour on a base of Japanese sencha. Some of the kernels pop as they toast, which is why genmaicha is sometimes called popcorn tea.
Steep 1 tsp per 350ml at 80°C for 3 minutes and drink it straight. Water straight off the boil makes green tea bitter.
Also available as a Tea for Three sample.
Hand blended in small batches by Sloane Fine Tea in Ontario.
175g pouch.
