This is a specialty Japanese green tea that is blended with fire-toasted rice. A good grade Japan sencha is blended with the toasted rice. The fresh vegetative character of the green tea is imparted on the cup but it is tempered with the bakey-like character of the rice. There is a natural sweetness and almost chewy character to the finish of this tea. During the firing of the rice, it is not uncommon for rice to ‘pop’ not unlike popcorn.
Genmaicha can help you feel full longer thanks to its combination of healthy tea compounds and filling rice kernels. The rich, toasted flavor also increases body temperature, signaling the body to burn fat stores.
Note: A 100g bag of tea will produce approximately 50 cups of tea.
