DESCRIPTION strong >
Genmaicha is a high-quality sencha green tea blended with roasted rice grains ("genmai"). The rice is specially soaked and steamed before being dried and roasted. The combination of sencha leaf infusion and rice gives genmaicha its refreshing, slightly nutty flavor, strong aroma, and rusty green color. For centuries, genmaicha was considered a drink for poorer people in Japan who could not afford to drink sencha alone. The added rice increased the volume of the tea and gave it additional flavor. Over time, genmaicha became popular among all social classes in Japan and later around the world, where it earned the nickname "popcorn tea" (because the roasted rice grains resembled popcorn from a distance). In Japan, genmaicha is often consumed by monks during long periods of fasting. Due to its relatively low sencha content (50%), it is a tea with a fairly low caffeine content. It is valued for its high mineral content (magnesium, calcium, and potassium). Due to its digestive action, it is traditionally served with meals.
