Brown rice green tea is green tea blended with roasted brown rice. In Korea, it is called hyeonmi-nokcha (현미녹차, literally "brown rice green tea") and is considered a blend of nokcha (green tea) and hyeonmi-cha (brown rice tea). In Japan, green tea blended with puffed brown rice is called genmaicha (literally, "brown rice tea").

Preparation

In Korea, hyeonmi-nokcha is made by blending jeungje-cha (green tea that were steamed, not roasted, before being dried) leaves and roasted brown rice. Popular in both the loose and tea bag forms, brown rice green tea varieties are produced by Hankook Tea and Sulloc Tea.
