    An everyday green tea that blends Japanese sencha leaves with roasted brown rice. Genmaicha was traditionally a tea for the common man in Japan, because the rice acted as a "filler" to stretch meager amounts of tea leaves.

    Brown rice is added to the tea during its final roasting, giving it a unique nuttiness. Because the heat of the roaster causes some of the rice to pop, this tea is sometimes referred to as "popcorn tea".

    1g per 1oz at 180°F for 2m

    This brewing method is a good starting point, since water at 180°F is warm enough to extract satisfying flavor, while still being cool enough to limit bitterness or astringency. To change the strength of your brew, try adjusting the amount of tea leaves you use instead of changing the water temperature.
