This classic Japanese green tea is blended with toasted popped rice to create a lovely warm and nutty taste and delightful savoury notes. Sencha Genmai is smooth and mild, but full of delicious flavours, and is perfect for those looking for a less astringent green tea.
Also known as "popcorn tea" due to the popping sound the roasted rice makes when brewed, Sencha Genmai tea was first produced by monks in 15th century Japan, who would mix roasted rice with leftover tea leaves to make their tea supplies last longer. The tea became popular among the Japanese people, soon becoming a staple in daily life.
Sencha Genmai tea is rich in antioxidants and contains L-theanine, an amino acid that is thought to encourage relaxation and reduce stress.
