Product Descriptions:
Genmaicha is the Japanese name for green tea combined with roated brown rice. It is sometimes referred to colloquially as "popcorn tea" because few grains of the rice pop during the roasting process and resemble popcorn. This type of tea was originally drunk by poor Japanese, as the rice served as a filler and reduced the price of the tea; which is why it is also known as the "people's tea".
Tea steeped from these tea leaves has a light yellow hue. Its flavor is mild and combines the fresh grassy flavor of green tea with the aroma of the roasted rice. The water to steep this tea should typically be about 80-85C (176-185F). A steeping time of 3-5 minutes is recommended, depending on desired strength and the source of the tea - some sources recommend as little as one minute of brewing time.
