I’m more of a black and herb tea drinker, but I love genmaicha when I want diary free tea, awesome stuff. Also, it can give you a coffee note because of the roasted rice.
I tried today for the first time and I love it. I’m not a fan of green tea because of its taste and I like to drink my tea plain (no honey, no sugar, etc). Genmaicha is perfect: I can enjoy drinking green tea without the bitter taste and, correct me if I’m wrong, it’s less caffeinated 💓 You just got a new subscriber 😊
Trying it for the first time right now. I’ve had gyokuro, sencha, fukamushi sencha, matcha, hojicha, and kukicha. Love them all can’t wait to try this one
It’s delicious love the toasted rice the smell is the best part of this tea really smells like rice crispy without the sweetness. Flavor is well balanced
I just purchased my first order of Gyokuro Genmaicha from the channel's website. I'm looking for a tea to use for 24-36 hour fasting. I have a condition where I constantly have elevated ghrelin levels. I've recently learned that fasting will help control my caloric intake and Genmaicha is a perfect tea for assisting with keeping ghrelin levels down.
Japanese word "Genmai" (玄米) ; means "BROWN" RICE (Possible translation connotation issue OR literal reference ? Not sure if the USE of word "brown" refers to the ROASTING process (ie ; toasted until brown) OR, the actual use of "BROWN" rice ? Not really sure. Connotation disconnect is COMMON when it comes to titles given to foods ; UK "chips" aka US "fries" UK "crisps" aka US "crackers" UK "biscuit" = U.S. "cookie" African "soup" = US "stew" Etc
yes it is brown as in cooked. The reason I know this is that you actually can't make it properly with brown rice because the starches are protected by a hull so they dont toast the right way
(@1:39 "ONLY WHITE RICE is used???) Hello, I cannot help but take issue with what you are saying that Genmaicha is ONLY made with "white" rice, but not "brown" rice. I have purchased Genmaicha from Japanese markets AND in recent years at a U.S., Asian grocery chain store called 99 Ranch Market located in several states. I have been purchasing Genmaicha tea since 1982, and the ONLY variety I have ever seen has been made with ROASTED BROWN rice. Now, I realize that with any culture there are "regional" styles, differing cooking methods and differing ingredients used to prepare traditional foods, drinks, etc. So, I am not saying that this tea is NEVER prepared with "white" rice anywhere in Japan. I am saying the most COMMON variety of Genmaicha sold in Asian markets HERE is made with ROASTED BROWN rice. In my opinion, brown has a nuttier flavor than white rice, and that gives it much more flavor when it is roasted. Here is the type that I have purchased (and the only one seen at Asian markets here in the U.S.) all of my adult life. I live in So California which has one of the largest Asian population nationwide. If any Asian food us sold in the USA, you can certainly find it here.

thank you so much for subscribing! I'm so glad you like the tea and can't wait to hear about the other tea discoveries you make from this channel
Green tea should not taste bitter. You may be brewing it at a too high temperature.
@@Ausf.D.A.K. true, green tea should have grassy taste
I love genmaicha, matcha, white tea, green tea. So I am a fan of teas mostly. More than coffee although I like a cup now and then.
yes they are so good! thank you for watching
Sencha green tea was the tea that pulled me away from coffee and I’m glad. I much rather prefer tea over coffee.

@@Nioteas Interesting tidbit!
@Nioteas TV I’m using measuring spoons to measure out the tea leaves. Is 5 grams around 1 1/2 teaspoons?
I would say its more like a tablespoon
So it’s not popcorn. It’s … poprice… ?
I guess you could say that!
Soak Steam Dry Roast
yes
