A blend of bancha tea and toasted rice originating from Japan. Genmaicha was originally created by Japanese farmers unable to afford regular bancha. Caffeine level: medium Available in two sizes, these Fair Trade and Certified Organic teas can brew about 40 cups of tea per jar or 7 cups of tea per test tube. Double steep your teas to double the enjoyment. Either to warm you up or chill you out, our teas are great hot or iced. Use about 1 tsp tea per 8 ounces of nearly boiling water. For black or green tea, let steep for 3-4 minutes based on personal taste. For herbal tea, let steep for at least 5 minutes, up to 10! Generally speaking, the more oxidation the less time tea needs to brew! Oxidation is the process of drying out tea leaves after harvest. Just like apples and avocados brown when left out in the air, so does tea. So if your tea is a dark black color, err on the side of less time; while a lighter green would need more time.
