Toasted Rice

Origin: Japan

Also know as Genmaicha, Toasted Rice Green Tea combines flavorful sencha tea leaves with puffed rice, adding a smooth refreshing flavor and eliminating some of the natural bitterness of green teas. The name comes from a Japanese legend of a servant named Genmai, who spilled rice in an important samurai?s tea. When the samurai discovered he enjoyed the taste of the tea, the mixture was named in the servant?s honor.
