Frequently Asked Questions

What is Brown Rice Green Tea?

Brown Rice Green Tea is a Korean infusion made by blending roasted brown rice with green tea leaves. It is consumed as a mild, nutty beverage typically enjoyed throughout the day for its soothing flavor profile.

What type of roasted brown rice should I use for Genmaicha?

Look for 'genmai' or roasted popped brown rice in Asian grocery stores to ensure it has that signature nutty, toasted flavor.

What is the ideal water temperature for brewing green tea with brown rice?

Use water around 175°F (80°C) to prevent the delicate green tea leaves from turning bitter, allowing the savory rice notes to shine.

How long should I steep the mixture?

Steep the mixture for exactly 2 minutes; any longer will release tannins that overpower the nutty aroma of the roasted rice.

Can I reuse the tea leaves and rice for a second infusion?

Yes, you can re-steep the leaves and rice a second time, though you should increase the water temperature slightly and steep for an additional 30 seconds.
