Green Tea Genmaicha BIO 60 g - MOYA MATCHA

INGREDIENTS
Genmaicha green tea 50%*, brown 50% * rice (* from certified organic cultivation)

DESCRIPTION
Genmaicha is a high-quality green sencha tea combined with roasted grain rice ("genmai"). The rice is specially soaked and pre-cooked before being dried and roasted. The combination of the infusion of sencha leaves and rice gives genmaicha its characteristic refreshing, slightly nutty flavor, robust aroma, and rust-green color. For centuries, genmaicha was considered a drink for the poorest people in Japan who could not afford to drink sencha alone. The added rice increased the volume of the tea and gave it additional flavor. Over time, genmaicha became popular among all social classes in Japan and then around the world, where it was nicknamed "popcorn tea" (because the roasted rice grains resembled popcorn from a distance). In Japan, genmaicha is often consumed by monks during long periods of fasting. Due to its relatively low sencha content (50%), this tea has a relatively low caffeine content. It is valued for its high mineral content (magnesium, calcium, and potassium). Due to its digestive properties, it is traditionally served with meals.
