Toast, nutty and mild!  An interesting looking tea to say the least. Genmaicha is a blend of green tea with toasted brown rice (whole and sometimes popped).  This tea can also be used for your culinary delights.  Use it to braise, steam or poach and to flavour broths, such as chicken noodle soup.

Green tea is widely known for its health benefits, particularly being high in polyphenols, which are potent antioxidants that suppress free radicals, thus reducing the risk of cancer.
