Genmaicha is the Japanese name for green tea combined with roasted brown rice. It is sometimes referred to colloquially as "popcorn tea," a literal translation of the Japanese name, because of a certain amount of popped rice.

Tea steeped from genmaicha has a light yellow hue. Its flavor is mild and combines the fresh grassy flavor of green tea with the aroma of the roasted rice. Although this tea is based on green tea, the recommended way to brew this tea is different from that of green tea. To make best aroma, it is recommended to use boiled water with brewing time of 30 seconds.

Genmaicha betyr grønn te med ristet brun ris på japansk. Noen kaller det for "popcorn te", en direkte oversettelse fra det japanske navnet, pga en viss mengde brun ris. Smaken er ganske spesiell; den har en subtil og god smak av gress og brun ris. Det er veldig viktig å ikke trekke den for lenge; da blir den bitter. 30-60 sekunder er vanligvis nok.
