Sobre este ingrediente

Blend of green tea (typically bancha or sencha) with toasted brown rice, producing a nutty, mild, low-caffeine profile. Originated as a frugal extender during food shortages and now positioned as a low-caffeine premium daily tea internationally. Toasting protocols vary: light toast retains green-tea character; heavy toast emphasises grain notes. Often blended with matcha (matcha-iri genmaicha) for export markets.
