Steamed Sencha is mixed with toasted rice kernels to provide this distinctive and delicious tea, often served with sushi.
Different processing techniques provide a completely different flavour for Japanese green teas. Genmaicha is one of Japan’s favourite.
Genmaicha is sometimes referred to “popcorn tea” because a few grains of the rice pop during the roasting process.
The steeped tea has a light yellow hue. Its flavour is mild and combines the fresh grassy flavour of green tea with the aroma of the roasted rice.
Ingredients: green tea (Sencha), roasted rice

The green teas leaves are quite small and fine-looking from what I can see and the smell is sort of a green, grassy scent – like you’d get after mowing the lawn and the clipping had been left in the sun to dry a bit. The smell changed radically when I added water, turning into something that was a cross between puff-wheat cereal and burnt popcorn.
It tasted a bit like the smell – though not so much burnt popcorn, but it’s a savory sort of taste.
Many thanks to Jillian for sending me a bit of this tea to try. I’m always on the lookout for my perfect genmaicha, so I was excited to try this new-to-me brand. This tea is one of the better genmaichas I have had the pleasure of sipping. The sencha is extremely buttery with a hint of sweetness that balances nicely with the popcorn flavor from the toasted rice. I’m having a great time sipping this tea out of my new Thermos that I bought for work (nothing fancy, just a cheap thermos but it does have a glass liner so that the tea flavors won’t hang onto the inside).
