Description
"Genmai" means natural rice and thus is found in Genmaicha Tea. This particular specialty is made from Bancha tea, to which about 50 percent roasted or puffed rice grains are added. The inimitable taste is characterized by the mildness of the Bancha tea and is perfectly complemented by the pleasant, slightly sweet and nutty caramel note. Thanks to the low caffeine and fine mildness, this tea can be drunk throughout the day. Also for green tea beginners, this is an ideal introduction. The Japanese prefer this tea for the afternoon hours.

It is a delicious green tea with smoked rice grains. Very smooth, flavorful and vitalizing. (in my opinion)
