Genmaicha used to be a poor man's tea, since the peasants couldn't afford to have enough tea for their cup, they added roasted rice. Now popular in Japan, this blend of green tea has roasted rice and popcorn, making a savory infusion. Great with sushi!
Steep one teaspoon of loose tea per 6-8oz. of below boiling water, 180°F, for two minutes.
