Genmaicha is a Japanese green tea. This particular tea is a blend of green tea and roasted brown rice. As you would expect, the light yellow brewed tea has a green tea “grassy” flavour that is enhanced with the roasted brown rice aroma.
Available in 100gm resealable packages.
To Brew: It is recommended, in this case, that you use boiling water and steep for only 30 seconds — this brings out the roasted flavour and aroma in the tea.
I hope your journey into the fascinating world of tea is as rewarding for you as it has been for me. I have lived in Asian countries for almost thirty years-spending twenty five in Thailand, and almost five years in Taiwan. I recently relocated to Australia, where I hope to continue to promote and sell Chinese and herbal teas.
