GENMAICHA

This tea is a Japanese green tea with roasted rice from a farm in Kagoshima Prefecture - a warming and highly aromatic drink. It is low in caffeine, so it is suitable for enjoying in the late afternoon or even evening.

Legend has it that this tea was created by accident in the 15th century, when a servant, while preparing tea for his lord, was careless and accidentally mixed rice into the tea while roasting it. As you can imagine, the lord liked the tea and today it is one of the most popular Japanese teas.

This tea, unlike many other Japanese green teas, can be brewed with 90-100 °C water: 200 ml of water requires about 3-4 g (1 teaspoon) and, after the first brewing, keep it for up to 2 minutes.

Do not forget that all green teas, after maintaining the required brewing time, must be poured into cups until the last drop, because if left for a longer time - the tea left on the tea leaves will be very bitter! You can and should brew the tea leaves a second and third time. The second time - for a shorter time (about 30 seconds), the third - again maintaining it, as for the first time.
