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).

The Jasmine tea was very disappointing. Barely noticeable jasmine aroma or flavor. Small particles went through filter, spoiling appearance of tea. This had never happened with any other tea product. Delivery was prompt and reasonable. The web site is very good. However in this instance, the product was unsafisactory.
