玄米茶，以焙茶和烘烤去殼米粒製成，是帶有奶油堅果風味的日本茶。有時因其爆開的米粒而被稱為「爆米花茶」。品飲此茶，令人聯想到香氣撲鼻的日本茶室。帶有烤香、絲絨般的香氣與平衡感。
因為與米混合，玄米茶的咖啡因含量較低。這種茶與米的組合源於日本一段許多人負擔不起綠茶的時期。他們改喝烘焙米，或稱「平民之茶」，即綠茶與烘焙米的混合物。這種做法演變為我們今日所知的堅果風味綠茶混合茶——玄米茶（或Genmaicha）。
烘焙米與綠茶適合在用餐時或餐後飲用，以清潔味蕾。它具有青草、蔬菜般的風味，加上烤米香，與茶味相輔相成。綠茶與烘焙米在日本茶文化中深受年輕一代喜愛。
與所有日本茶一樣，名稱的第一部分描述茶，第二部分則意指茶。您可能已猜到「genmai」意指糙米，而「cha」當然就是茶。享用這款令人愉悅的爆米茶時，請細細品味其中的層層風味！
The toasted rice kernels give this green tea a lovely nutty aroma that fills the kitchen while it steeps. The buttery flavor is even better than I hoped, and it’s become my new afternoon ritual.
I wasn't sure about a tea with rice in it, but the toasted kernels make it taste almost buttery and nutty. It's become my nightly wind-down drink instead of coffee.
The popped rice kernels give this such a fun toasty smell the second you open the bag. It's mellow and buttery, not grassy at all, so I've been drinking it every afternoon instead of coffee.
