Japan Green Tea
Premium Genmaicha
by TeaLula
Toasted rice added to green bancha enhances the flavor with a subtle nuttiness, though originally the practice came about as a way to stretch tea during the war years in Japan.
Ingredients
Japanese green tea, toasted rice
Brewing Instructions
Brew 1 teaspoon of tea per 8 oz water at 185o. Infuse for 2-3 minutes. Decant. Green tea left in water too long will become bitter.
