Genmaicha is a Japanese green tea blend that combines green tea leaves with roasted popped brown rice. The name "Genmaicha" translates to "brown rice tea" in Japanese. This tea is often referred to as "popcorn tea" due to the popping sound of the rice during the roasting process and the resemblance of the popped rice to popcorn. - Ingredients: The primary components are green tea leaves, typically Bancha or Sencha, and roasted brown rice. Some variations may include other types of green tea, such as Gyokuro or Hojicha, and even matcha powder. - Flavor Profile: Genmaicha has a warm, nutty flavor with a light yellow hue. The starch and sugar from the rice contribute to its sweet and full-bodied taste, which combines the fresh grassy flavor of green tea with the aroma of roasted rice. - Preparation: Traditionally, Genmaicha is prepared using a Kyusu, a Japanese teapot. The recommended steeping time and water temperature can vary, but it is often steeped with water at around 175?F for 90-120 seconds.
