Vibrant green Sencha blended with rice kernels.

PopcornPopcorn tea was originally drunk by poor Japanese, as the rice served as a filler and reduced the price of the tea; today it is enjoyed by all those who love a toasty, nutty tea.

    Green Tea with light red-brown kernels, flecked with popped rice? Even for a connoisseur of tea this combination is a surprise. I like green tea and I like surprises, so I decided to buy Genmaicha Green Tea. As I said, I like green tea but I drink it quite rarely, due to its bitter taste. When I read on your website that green tea can be sweet I thought this might be what I have been looking for. And I wasn’t disappointed! Soft and refreshing with a touch of cereal sweetness. The smell of this tea is so natural. It brings memories of Summer and open fileds under a blue sky. With a taste thats so unique, soft, but rich at the same time. I use my new set of Gong Fu Tea to infuse the tea. I like to drink this tea after a meal, because it supports the natural processes of regulating and purifying the body. Usually I do not eat anything with tea, because the tea itself already has enough for me but if I do I eat piece of fruit for extra sweetness or oatmeal cookies. Since trying grenmaich tea for the first time it has now beome one of favourite teas.
