Genmaicha is the Japanese name for green tea blended with pre-roasted brown rice. Since green tea was once expensive, lower-middle-class Japanese couldn't afford to sip this delicacy, so lower-middle-class Japanese began serving the rice as filling to reduce its price.
Its name is said to come from Gen (dark), mai (rice), and cha (tea). It is a beverage with unparalleled relaxing effects. It is also often described as Genmaicha infusion because of its relatively low caffeine content. It is notable for its light yellow color and its smooth flavor, combining the fresh herbal taste of green tea with the aroma of toasted rice.
Preparation of Genmaicha Green Tea
To prepare organic green tea , the water should be around 80–85°C, letting it steep for about 3–5 minutes, depending on the desired strength and the type of Genmaicha Green Tea.
Genmaicha green tea is also sold with matcha (ground green tea) added, this variant being called matcha-iri genmaicha. This tea has a flavor similar to regular genmaicha, but is often stronger, and its color is more green than light yellow. Today, you can find genmaicha green tea in many countries and regions, especially in East Asia.
Genmaicha can be enjoyed hot or cold, with or without added Matcha green tea powder . Genmaicha green tea is very popular in Japan and can even be drunk before bedtime due to its low caffeine content. It's known for its digestive benefits, which is why it's often served after meals. It's a tea that greatly benefits your health thanks to its excellent properties.
