655 Japan Genmaicha
Genmai-cha, a Japanese specialty, stands for "brown rice tea". Green tea is blended with roasted, partially puffed rice giving it a "toasty" flavor. The quality of Genmai-cha varies widely depending on the base tea used. While most Genmai-cha sold in this country is based on larger leaf Bancha, this specific grade consists of a blend of Sencha and fine Bancha, making it very fragrant and aromatic. Genmai-cha is lower in caffeine than other green teas.
Recommendations: Use 1 heaping tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh, cold water until steam rises (180° F); let steep for 1-2 min.
Ingredients: Green tea, roasted and popped rice
Health Benefits: In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, practitioners have used green tea as a stimulant, diuretic, digestion aid and astringent. Studies show that green tea has the ability to regulate blood glucose, enhance mental performance, reduce inflammation, improve bone mineral density and lower risk of heart disease. It is a rich source of the polyphenol EGCG, shown to provide protection against cancer, particularly colon, lung and skin cancers.
