Genmaicha

Green Tea by DuvalTea

Loose Leaf Tea – Genmaicha – Japanese Popcorn Tea Premium Level

“Watch out, it’s addictive”

Genmaicha is a Japanese green tea also known as popcorn tea. Everyone is addicted to its sweet, toasted rice flavor.

Some people call Genmaicha “popcorn tea” because it contains whole roasted grains of brown rice, some of which have popped. Others call it the Rice Krispie of green teas. Either way, genmaicha was originally drunk by poor Japanese who used the rice as a filler because they couldn’t afford enough tea leaves. It soon became all the rage. Today, everyone is addicted to its sweet, toasted rice flavour.
