Genmaicha, also known as brown rice tea, was originally created by the Japanese and mainly consumed by the poor. Roasted rice is blended with the tea to reduce the price, which is why this tea is also called the 'people's tea'. Today, the processing of brown rice tea has been further perfected and loved by all layers of society.
The glucose and starch from the rice results in a very easy to drink, flavour-rich tea with the taste of nuts and popcorn.
Recommend for Asian/Japanese Restaurants
Given that one cup requires just 3 grams, you can brew up to 170 cups of tea when sourcing our 500g pack of Genmaicha. Excellent for a low cost serving of brown rice green tea in an Japanese/Asian restaurant.
