Its taste, familiar from sushi bars and Japanese restaurants, is memorable for a long time. Legend has it that a servant of the Shogun of Hakone served his master tea in which some stolen rice grains fell into his pocket. The servant paid for his mistake with his life, but the shogun liked the taste so much that he decided to make the new tea a permanent part of his menu. This is how Genmaicha, also known today as 'popcorn tea', was created. Formerly regarded as a drink of the lower classes, who, to increase the volume of pure sencha, added much cheaper rice grains to the leaves. Moya Genmaicha comes from organic cultivation on the island of Kiusiu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to prepare Genmaicha?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmount of tea\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3 g per 150 ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 70-80°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteeping time\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3 min\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of brews\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProperties of Genmaicha\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoya Genmaicha consists of organic sencha leaves and grains of organically grown brown rice. Before the rice is dried and roasted, it is specially steeped and steamed. Genmaicha is a tea with a medium caffeine content. It supports the digestive system, which is why it is traditionally served with meals. During long periods of fasting, Buddhist monks support themselves with genmaicha. Along with other Japanese green teas, it is a rich source of catechins and antioxidants. Drinking genmaicha helps to slow down ageing throughout the body, cleanse toxins, lower bad cholesterol, keep sugar levels normal, maintain healthy teeth and gums and even improve mood. Its leaves contain well absorbed vitamin C, beta carotene, folic acid, potassium, calcium and phosphorus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n.\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50% organic sencha green tea, 50% organic roasted brown rice\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moya Matcha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47870680400214,"sku":"MOYA715","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0560\/5788\/8819\/files\/moya-matcha-green-tea-with-roasted-rice-genmaicha-60-g-moya715-1027126878.jpg?v=1756430243","url":"https:\/\/meidpak.com\/products\/moya-matcha-green-tea-with-roasted-rice-genmaicha-60-g","provider":"Medpak","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
