Description
Genmaicha is a different kind of Japanese green tea that many people find intriguing. Brown rice kernels (genmai) are added while the green Bancha leaves (cha) are being dried, so the kernels get crispy and some burst open.Broad yellow-green Bancha tea leaves are mixed with toasted brown rice..Bancha is a summer tea made after the Sencha season. Because there is so much of tea, an innovative Kyoto tea merchant thought to combine the two staples of the Japanese diet, bringing Genmaicha into existence. And for that we are thankful..Tea is only as good as the water it is brewed in. Use filtered water as needed. Use one teaspoon for each cup of tea desired. Pour 175F water over the tea and steep for 3 minutes. Remove the tea leaves. Relax and enjoy..HARNEY & SONS IS A PROUD MEMBER OF 1% FOR THE PLANET.
