What is Genmaicha? Rice Tea Explained

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

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.

[@Nioteas]

yes it is quite nice! I find that a lot of people like this tea even the first time they drink it

[@oowatwat]

[@Nioteas]

[@edinagallos7341]

I discovered genmaicha on a recent trip to Japan. I actually got completely hooked. Now I drink it multiple times a day, the first brew in the morning a sencha G and later in the day a bancha G - it’s simply the best. Thanks for the great video!

[@KRD2001]

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

[@KRD2001]

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

[@Nioteas]

you should try it! We have a few great ones that we've found in Japan: nioteas.com/collections/genmaicha

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 😊

[@Nioteas]

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

[@Ausf.D.A.K.]

Green tea should not taste bitter. You may be brewing it at a too high temperature.

[@yuucola4145]

​​@@Ausf.D.A.K. true, green tea should have grassy taste

[@sifugurusensei]

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.

[@Nioteas]

yes they are so good! thank you for watching

[@snehalkrishnan618]

Sencha green tea was the tea that pulled me away from coffee and I’m glad. I much rather prefer tea over coffee.

[@fatimazahraable]

je peux la consommer même si la date d'expiration ca fait presque 9 mois

[@stanleystrem6029]

[@paulicamarigold]

I just found about this tea and I already love it ❤️

[@mcc1483]

Is the genmaicha organic, or do they make an organic version? Great video. Thanks for enlightening me. I got a genmaicha tea bag in an Asian Treat Box with a variety of products from the region. I loved the tea, and found your channel.

[@taqutiosc6046]

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.

[@Nioteas]

Thank you so much for supporting us! I hope you like the tea

[@thegreatujo]

I bought a pack of Vitasia branded Genmaicha tea from Lidl on their Asia week and arrived here because I was curious what the name means. It has a slight taste of roasted rice and I can see the dark orange bits of rice inside the teabag.

[@cactusmom8203]

[@bledferox6601]

a kukicha-genmai blend is possible to make?

[@Nioteas]

yes it is! Ive never seen it sold however

[@joannebenith500]

Do you ship to the Philippines?

[@andrew68683]

@Nioteas TV I’m using measuring spoons to measure out the tea leaves. Is 5 grams around 1 1/2 teaspoons?

[@Nioteas]

I would say its more like a tablespoon

[@kitcatmeeow571]

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

[@Nioteas]

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

[@rtr0spct210]

@@Nioteas Interesting tidbit!

[@MilkByCow]

So it’s not popcorn. It’s … poprice… ?

[@Nioteas]

I guess you could say that!

[@TheMushMe]

Soak Steam Dry Roast

[@Nioteas]

yes

(@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. See these links ; Known as "BROWN rice tea" - Genmaicha is a Japanese specialty tea and is perhaps the most popular of all of the tea offerings from Japan. www.silkroadteas.com/genmaicha/ ******************** , a Japanese specialty, Genmaicha MEANS "BROWN rice tea." Green tea is blended with roasted, partially puffed rice giving it a toasty flavor. www.theteatable.com/product/JGC.html

[@Nioteas]

yes but I think brown rice could also refer to the toasted rice
