1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:01,240
Rice in your tea?

2
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:02,795
Meet genmaicha.

3
00:00:03,646 --> 00:00:05,663
This Japanese tea brings green tea

4
00:00:05,663 --> 00:00:08,093
and roasted rice into the same pot.

5
00:00:09,333 --> 00:00:11,525
Look closely: the slim green pieces

6
00:00:11,525 --> 00:00:12,905
are tea leaves.

7
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:17,030
The golden grains are rice,

8
00:00:17,030 --> 00:00:19,335
roasted before they're blended in.

9
00:00:22,369 --> 00:00:25,669
Sencha or bancha often forms
the tea base.

10
00:00:25,669 --> 00:00:27,949
The rice adds a toasty aroma.

11
00:00:28,994 --> 00:00:31,922
To make a cup,
the blend steeps in hot water.

12
00:00:36,276 --> 00:00:39,348
Then the leaves and grains
stay behind as you pour.

13
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:47,774
Follow your tea's brewing directions
for the amount, temperature, and time.

14
00:00:48,807 --> 00:00:51,392
That toasted twist
starts with the rice.

15
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:54,555
Green tea, roasted rice.

16
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:57,960
Two ingredients, one cup. Genmaicha.
