Gen mai cha Green Tea - genmaicha
Snap, crackle, pop---gen mai cha!
**Not Available at this time**
This blend began as a frugal measure to extend limited supplies of green tea until the next harvest: the green tea leaves were mixed with rice and popped corn. But the taste caught on, and now the blending is done quite deliberately!
This genmaicha uses larger-leaf Japanese green teas and stems, hulled rice kernels, and popped corn.
The liquor might look more like a greenish-brown soup (!!) and a buttery taste can almost be tasted!
(Caffeine)
Note: Enjoy while reading The Traveling Tea Ladies: Death In Dallas, along with the characters in the book!
