Genmaicha is the name for Japanese green tea that is mixed with roasted brown
rice. This genmaicha is created using bancha green tea, a Japanese green tea
that comes from the same plant as Sencha green tea, but is plucked later in the season. In
addition to toasted rice, some popped pieces of rice provides an additional nutty taste that,
when coupled with the sensual tanned brew of the bancha, creates a unique savory
flavor!
