Description

Genmaicha is a Bancha green tea to which grains of roasted and puffed brown rice are added. This Japanese green tea boasts both a fresh green tea taste and the light hazelnut flavor of puffed rice.

Rich in catechins, green tea is recognized as a good source of antioxidants. Refreshing and delicious if served iced in the summertime, delightful when hot in the winter.
