GENMAICHA

Genmaicha (literally “brown rice tea”) was born in Japan in the 15th century, from the mixture of green tea and roasted and puffed rice grains, which made it very economical for the lower classes. According to legend, it owes its name to a servant named Genmai. One day, Genmai accidentally dropped some grains of brown rice into the teapot. His samurai master, believing that his tea was spoiled, decided to execute Genmai on the spot. However, tasting his tea, he was surprised by the delicious combination of herbal and nutty flavors. He decided to forgive Genmai and name this tea in his honor. In addition to the antioxidant properties of green tea, thanks to the brown rice it contains, Genmaicha is very rich in vitamins and minerals. It promotes digestion, eliminates toxins and accompanies diets well.
