Also known as the popcorn tea. This tea has a light, golden yellow liquor with a unique, toasty rice flavor tending sweet. A tea that creates conversation.

This is a specialty Japanese tea that is blended with fire-toasted rice. During the firing of the rice, it is common for the rice to 'pop' not unlike popcorn, hence the name 'popcorn-tea'. Legend has it that during the 1400's a servant named Genamai was beheaded because some rice fell in a samurai warlord's cup of tea. The warlord drank the brew despite the fact that rice was in his tea. The flavor was very unique and he enjoyed it tremendously. In honor of poor Genami he pronounced that this rice and tea be served every morning and be called 'Genmaicha' (cha being the name of 'tea' in Japanese).

I love that I can create my own blends using the tea lab. I wish I could get more than 1 cup out of my samples though, like 2 or 3 so I would know if I like it or not. But I do like that I can name my own tea and see it on the labels. My friends would laugh at the names of the teas, and I would tell them I made it up and how I created the blend. They\'d stop laughing and want to know how to make their own!
