Genmaicha, also known as brown rice tea, is the Japanese name for green tea that is mixed with toasted brown rice. It is sometimes even referred to as "popcorn" because some rice grains explode during frying and resemble popcorn. This type of tea was commonly drunk by the poorer Japanese as the tea was diluted with rice to keep the cost down, which is why this tea is also called "folk tea". Today, this tea is recognized by all social groups in Japan and has gained popularity overseas.
