"Green tea was scarce in postwar Japan, so peasant farmers added toasted brown rice to extend their supplies. Today, Gen Mai Cha (or "brown rice tea") is enjoyed around the world. Our version combines green tea, nutty toasted rice and a traditional powdered green tea called matcha to create a delicious blend suitable for everyone — rich or poor."

Brewing Instructions
For smooth green tea with a mild, delicate flavor, always start with water that is very hot but not boiling.
Hot Tea by the Cup
Pour very hot water (just at the brink of boiling) over one tea bag. Steep 2 minutes and remove tea bag. Sweeten if desired.
Iced Tea by the Pitcher
Pour 2 cups very hot water (just at the brink of boiling) over four tea bags in a heat-resistant container. Steep 2 minutes and remove tea bags. If desired, add sweetener while tea is hot. Add 2 cups cold water and chill.
Quotes
The moon like a flower, in heaven’s high bower, With silent delight sits and smiles on the night.
Fun Facts
While the story of the “man on the moon” is common to many cultures, Japanese folklore instead celebrates a “moon rabbit” who makes a ceremonial rice cake called mochi.
