The Popcorn Tea If you think green tea is too grassy or bitter, this is the one that will change your mind. Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese blend of green tea and toasted brown rice. The roasting process gives the rice a warm, nutty flavor that tastes remarkably like popcorn. It is savory, comforting, and impossible to over-steep. Why It Works The magic is in the starch. The toasted rice releases natural sugars and starches into the water, which smooth out the astringency of the green tea leaves. You get the antioxidants of green tea but with a thick, broth-like body that feels much more satisfying than a standard water-based infusion. The Lunch Ritual Drink it with food. In Japan, this is often served with meals because its savory character complements food perfectly. It is the ideal companion for a rice bowl, sushi, or even a simple sandwich at your desk. It cleanses the palate without overpowering your lunch.
