## Description

Product Description Popcorn Tea (Genmaicha) - Fab Japanese Treat. This might just be one of the most frequently asked questions by those entering the world of green teas – just what is popcorn tea (genmaicha)?! Well, the name may be a tiny bit misleading as it doesn’t actually contain any popcorn. Instead, the tea is blended with toasted rice – which, when popped, looks a little like the more familiar popcorn! Now, blending a tea with a beloved cereal favoured by three little elves might seem a little odd, but it’s actually one of the oldest green tea blends around. As with all great teas, the origins are shrouded in legend. The story of popcorn tea - or genmaicha green tea as it is properly known - is set long ago in the time of Samurai. A lowly peasant named Genmai was working in fields, when some Samurai came through the region. Rushing to serve them, Genmai accidentally dropped some toasted rice kernels into a pot of green tea he was preparing for one of these famed warriors. The outraged Samurai lopped off his head but, without another peasant to brew him up another one, drank the tea anyway. He loved it and was overcome with a little remorse for his actions, finally deciding to name the tea after the poor chap by way of apology - and so Genmai-cha was born (or, literally translated, Genmai’s tea). This traditional green tea has flourished from humble beginnings - Japanese peasants used to mix green tea with toasted rice to make it go further. It is now celebrated in its own right as Genmaicha tea, or Popcorn tea. With the use of our 100% plant based tea temple – a clever triangular tea bag made entirely of cornstarch, you can guarantee that each brew is designed to maximise flavour - allowing for lots of leaves and plenty of room for them to infuse in your cup. After you’ve finished your brew, don’t forget to pop your tea temple in your local council food waste recycling - here, there is enough heat, water, oxygen, and micro-organisms to fully break down your tea temple into natural elements in 12 weeks. Even the packaging can be popped in your recycling too! Ingredients Green tea, toasted rice.

Review: I simply love this. It’s now my standard evening drink. - This tea is one of my favourite green teas. I order it again and again. The malty rounded flavour gives you something extra than an ordinary green tea This works very well for me as I don’t on the whole like green tea, which I find bitter and ‘fishy’ tasting. The idea of toasted rice mixed in with the tea leaves may sound strange, but the rice seems to take away the bitter taste, making the tea really easy to drink I love this tea - refreshing and tasty. Large leaves with almost no dust. I drink this at any time of day. .I put a large pinch in a mug and I use the leaves twice. The second mug is as good as the first. It is best steeped in filtered water, as with all quality green teas, for the best flavour. Very good for late afternoon or evening drinking, it does not disappoint. This tea is divine & having it loose means I can control its strength..Im very pleased with the tea.
Review: A Sip of Comfort and Joy - My favorite popcorn green tea is a delightful blend of comforting popcorn flavor and soothing green tea. It's like a cozy hug in a cup, perfect for relaxing evenings or anytime I need a pick-me-up. The combination of popcorn sweetness and green tea freshness makes every sip a treat!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favourite tea so far!
*by P***I on 1 June 2025*

Makes a lovely cup of tea. I've tried quite a few Genmaicha teas and this one's the best so far. I just love the aroma of the toasted rice right before you take a sip. The tea temples are great & you get a decent portion of rice in each one. This is not an overpowering tea either so suits a tea rookie like me.
