Genmaicha (Popcorn Tea)

A wonderfully different green tea! A mellow steamed green tea with pieces of toasted rice and popped rice.

The popped rice comes from the roasting process of this blend where some of the grains pop up!

It has a delicious savoury and umami flavour, with definite nutty and toasty tones.

The history of this specific blend is unique, the use of rice acted as a filler ingredient making it more available for the poorer people in Japan as a way of stretching out the tea. Today, of course, it’s drunk by the whole range of society.
