The powerful health benefits of green tea are numerous, and this organic green tea, traditionally from Japan, is no exception. Green tea is loaded with antioxidants, catechins and polyphenols, most notably EGCG. 
 
This organic "Sencha" green tea (tea that is shaded for two weeks), is mixed with organic roasted brown rice and is referred to as "Genmaicha". The word is Japanese and translates simply as "brown rice tea". It is a mix of Sencha leaves and roasted brown rice. This tea is delicious, with a bright but nutty/rice flavor and incredibly healthy.
