Genmai Cha (or "genmaicha") is Japanese green tea mixed with roasted brown rice.This exotic tea brand is also know as "Genmai Cha Pop" or "popcorn tea" because of the way rice kernels popped when the tea leaves were roasted for processing. The brown rice gave volume to the tea leaves and made it more affordable. That's why genmaicha is also known as "people's tea" although today it is enjoyed by all tea lovers in Japan.
When brewed, genmaicha releases a distinctive and nutty "popcorn aroma" that's much appreciated by its aficionados.
