The most common green tea in Japan. It has a strong, organic straw-like smell. It is picked later than sencha and is considered to be a lower quality green tea. It’s an inexpensive tea suitable for everyday drinking.
Genmaicha:A subcategory of bancha, Sencha:The tea leaves are first steamed for 15-45 seconds to prevent oxidization, after which they are rolled, shaped, dried and fired. Sencha usually has a slight seaweed flavor. It can be very strong and a little bitter. Brewing times should be kept to around one minute. Sencha can be served either hot or iced.
the leaves are combined with roasted brown rice. It is sometimes referred to as “popcorn tea” because the brown rice sometimes pops during the roasting process. Genmaicha has a fresh grassy flavor. Recommended brewing times are very short, usually around 1-2 minutes.
