Genmaicha Green Tea - Loose Leaf Green Tea Blend from 100% Nature

Description: Genmaicha tea is a Japanese tea, also known as brown rice tea. It was originally very popular amongst poor Japanese. They used rice as filler because they could not afford to buy sufficient tea leaves. This is the reason why it is called the 'people's tea'. It was a popular tea for those who used to fast for religious reasons, as well as those who were unable to have regular meals. Today, it is a popular tea, consumed by many. There is a very interesting legend linked to this tea. It is said that a clumsy slave dropped rice into his Samurai master's tea whilst brewing it. The warrior was so angry that with a quick flash of his samurai sword he removed the slave's head. Only after this deed did he take a sip of the tea. The taste impressed him so much that he named the tea Genmaicha, in honour of the slave that he had slain. Whether you believe this legend or not, the flavour and health benefits of this tea is undisputed. The health benefits linked to Genmaicha tea are similar to those linked to green tea. It supports mental function and concentration. It acts as a booster to the immune system. The tea boosts metabolism and aids digestion. It blocks fat absorption, hence it lowers cholesterol levels and protects individuals from heart disease. Due to its fat absorption properties, it has become well-known for its weight loss abilities. The antioxidants present in the tea help protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals. A study has revealed that the catechins that can be found in Genmaicha tea could aid in reducing the spread of cancerous cells. This tea can improve bone and joint health and would make a suitable option for those suffering from arthritis or rheumatism.
