Teapro Japanese Genmaicha Green Tea Gyokuro with Popped Rice Loose Leaf Blend Gen Mai Cha (15g)

Origin of Genmaicha Green Tea: Genmaicha originated in Kyoto where, in the early 1900s, a tea farmer began blending roasted brown rice with green tea to make it more accessible for the growing impoverished population. This strategy was so successful that the tea earned the nickname "People's Tea." The term "Genmai" means "brown rice" in Japanese, but today it is mostly made with white rice as it offers a more fragrant aroma and umami flavor when roasted.
