Organic EDEN Genmaicha Tea is traditionally cured organic sencha green tea leaves and roasted organic brown rice. 'Genmai' means brown rice in Japan, and 'cha' means tea. Prized, young, tender spring leaves near the top of the bush are picked and immediately steamed and rubbed, then rubbed again after they are cool and dry. This uniquely preserves beneficial antioxidants and the chlorophyll of the leaves.
