Numi Toasted Rice Green Tea Gen Mai Cha Description Gen Mai Cha Nutty Savory & Smooth Organic Kosher 18 teabags/box Full Leaf Tea Bags Net Wt. 1.52 Oz. (43.2 G) Japanese legend tells of a servant named Gen Mai who created this tea after rice fell from his pocket into a samurai's pot. The result was a nutty flavor that enriched the lively clean taste of Sencha, a traditional Japanese green tea. Picked in the spring, its needle-like leaves are rolled, flattened and steamed then blended with toasted rice to create a savory brew. With a bright yellow hue and robust aroma, Gen Mai Cha is a hearty and popular tea commonly served at meals, as it cleanses the palate. Directions Bring water to a full boil. For black teas, steep 3-5 minutes, as over brewing brings out bitterness from tannin, a natural part of tea. For green and Oolong teas, bring water just below a boil. Steep 2-4 minutes, to desired strength. Due to the delicacy of green and Oolong tea, careful attention is needed to capture the full taste. Serve hot or cold.
