What genmaicha means
Genmaicha combines bancha or sencha leaves with roasted and sometimes popped brown rice, which gives the brewed tea a nutty, popcorn-like aroma. Some blends, often labeled matcha-iri genmaicha, add a small amount of matcha powder for color and body. It is a steeped tea, not a powdered tea, and is served plain rather than whisked.
