TEA CULTURE
RECIPE
FRENCH NAME  GENMAI CHA JAPONAIS
BLEND NO.  5002
This famous Japanese tea is known as "popcorn tea" or "brown rice tea". During the roasting process, a few grains of the rice pop, resembling popcorn.  The nutty taste of the rice and barley goes well with the fresh flavor of our top-grade, blended Sencha (first flush or 'shincha' new tea), resulting in a savory infusion that is a perfect complement to Japanese cuisine.

We are blending genmaicha to be light on barley and rice - to ensure the underlying palate of the sencha green tea dominates with only top notes of barley to complement the green character.  Lower quality versions of genmaicha will tend to use low-quality sencha (or bancha) and high proportion of barley and rice. 

Infuse at 2 minutes at 80 to 82 Celcius (higher temperature will bruise the spring sencha leaves and result in high astringency).
