"Green of Japan" green tea MATCHA iri GENMAICHA

Genmaicha is accompanied by many stories.

One of the legends says that once a samurai servant named Genma, while preparing tea for his master, spilled some fried rice into his tea cup. At first, Mr. was heartbroken, but after tasting the reward - the taste was pleasant. Thus was born Genmaicha tea, which got its name from the servant's name.

Another theory is that expensive tea was mixed with inexpensive fried rice to reduce its cost. Thanks to that, not only the rich, but also poorer people could afford to buy it.

Health Benefits of Genmaicha Tea:

• Green tea lowers blood pressure and is a proven tool in the fight against hypertension. Also, regularly drinking green tea reduces the development of heart diseases.
