Pure Green Tea - Genmaicha
It is one of the green teas that are most consumed by the Japanese.
This green tea is obtained by mixing the leaves with roasted brown rice and is known as brown rice tea in Japanese. Some of the rice bursts during roasting giving it the appearance of popcorn.
Green tea is the choice of those who are looking for a flavor different from the classic green tea taste and those who do not like the light herbal flavor found in green tea will enjoy the taste of Genmaicha because of the roasted rice grains in the tea overcome this flavor in green tea.
Matcha tea can also be added to green tea upon request.
