GENMAICHA CAFFEINE LEVEL: Moderate

STEEP at 180° for 2-3 minutes.

Genmaicha (pronounced GEN-MY-CHAH) is an exotic Japanese green tea. Genmaicha is frequently referred to as "popcorn tea" because the roasted brown rice kernels often "pop" open during processing.

This type of green tea combines toasted, popped brown rice with tender green tea leaves. The addition of popped rice reduces the astringency of the Sencha green tea and creates a sweet and nutty flavor. Genmaicha is considered an easy-to-drink green tea.

Genmaicha Tea Benefits

In addition to its unique taste, Genmaicha benefits the body in several ways. It acts as a diuretic that may relieve bloating and water retention. Ridding your body of excess water and toxins creates a feeling of lightness and well-being.

The high antioxidant content in this smooth green tea can help protect the body against free radicals and oxidative stress. These antioxidants have been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and certain types of cancer.

The combination of green tea and popped rice provides a gentle energy boost without the jitters often associated with caffeine. Genmaicha has a moderate level of caffeine. It is a great alternative to coffee or other caffeinated beverages for those looking for a milder pick-me-up in the afternoon.

The nutty flavor adds a delightful twist to the traditional green tea taste. Its smoothness and subtle sweetness make Genmaicha a popular choice among both experienced tea enthusiasts and novices.

Looking for a natural way to support your body's detoxification process, or simply a delicious and comforting drink? Genmaicha green tea is a fantastic choice. Give this delightful Japanese tea a try and experience its unique flavors and health benefits for yourself.
