Genmai-cha, a Japanese specialty, stands for “brown rice tea”. Green tea is blended with roasted, partially puffed rice giving it a “toasty” flavor. The quality of Genmai-cha varies widely depending on the base tea used. While most Genmai-cha sold in this country is based on larger leaf Bancha, this specific grade consists of a blend of Sencha and fine Bancha, making it very fragrant and aromatic. Genmai-cha is lower in caffeine than other green teas.
Recommendations: Use 1 heaping tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh, cold water until steam rises (180° F); let steep for 1-2 min.
