Genmaicha Green Tea with Roasted Rice is a Japanese green tea blend made with Sencha and roasted rice. It offers an interesting alternative for those who enjoy green tea but prefer a softer, sweeter character with a gentle rice aroma.
Product Overview
This tea combines Japanese Sencha with roasted rice, creating a distinctive green tea that is sometimes known as “Popcorn tea”. The name comes from the rice grains, some of which may pop during roasting and resemble popcorn.
Genmaicha was traditionally known in Japan as a tea made by adding rice to green tea leaves. Over time, its unique aroma and balanced taste made it appreciated beyond its original everyday use.

Taste & Aroma

Ingredients
Sencha, fried rice.
Preparation
For one 2 dl cup, use 1 teaspoon of tea or approximately 2g. Pour over water that has boiled and cooled to 70°C. Steep for 2 minutes, then strain.
The tea can be infused up to three times. For the second and third infusion, monitor the water temperature and extend the steeping time. Correct water temperature and steeping time are important, as water that is too hot or steeping that is too long can make the tea taste more bitter.
For cold preparation, pour cold water over the tea using 1 teaspoon per 2 dl of water. Leave for 2-3 hours, then strain.
