Gyokuro
and Sencha are sorted into leaf, stem, and powder during processing. Green
tea that consists mostly of the stem (karigane) is then blended with popped
whole-rice (genmai). The taste of the green tea and the aroma of the whole-rice
combine exquisitely. Its mild relaxing fragrance makes it very popular as a daily
drink. If you enjoy the smell of roasted corn then this is the right tea. The
fragrance and flavor of the unpolished rice helps at times when one feels tired
and empty. Whether at work, university or during your private study time at home
genmaicha relaxes and strengthen you. Not only are vitamin B and E abundant
in unpolished rice, but green tea also contains vitamin C and plenty of minerals.
These nutritional benefits are another reason why this tea is so popular. |  |
