About teas:

Genmaicha tea (玄米茶) – Japanese green tea Bancha or Sencha is mixed with roasted brown rice (genmai), which may be popped (which is why Genmaicha is sometimes called "popcorn tea"), but this does not affect the final taste of the tea. Genmaicha can be mixed with Matcha tea powder (Matcha iri Genmaicha (抹茶入玄米茶))

Kukicha (节茶, Eng. "twig tea", "stem tea", "stalk tea") tea is made from twigs and stalks obtained from the production of Gyokuro and Kabusecha teas. 

Soft sweet taste, mild aroma. Very low in caffeine, high in L-theanine. Due to its high content of amino acids called L-theanine, Kukicha has a less astringent, sweeter ("umami") taste. Suitable even for children.

Sencha (煎茶) - the most popular of all Japanese teas. It is very rich in vitamin C, trace elements and antioxidants, especially catechins, which inhibit cell aging, help our body to maintain youth and protect the cardiovascular system. Catechins also aid in digestion, which is why Sencha is recommended to be taken within 30 minutes. after a meal. Due to its mild taste, Sencha pairs well with food, especially with dishes such as tempura and seafood.

Hojicha (ほうじ茶) – this is roasted Sencha and Bancha tea. Because the tea leaves are brown and the infusion is orange, it doesn't look like a typical green tea. The tea leaves are roasted in pans at a temperature of about 200 °C and immediately cooled. Roasting allows the caffeine to sublimate, making the tea less bitter. Deka's Hojicha tea with its mild roasted chestnut and cocoa flavor is a favorite among children and the elderly.
