Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese green tea that combines sencha or bancha with roasted brown rice. The rice adds a unique nutty flavor and aroma, making it a popular choice for those seeking a comforting beverage. This tea is often enjoyed for its health benefits, as it contains antioxidants and can aid digestion. Genmaicha is sometimes referred to as "popcorn tea" because some of the rice grains may pop during the roasting process, adding an interesting texture to the drink.
