Talk:Genmaicha

message: I am confused. The description of the tea with popcorn added is not correct. I see it on packaging and on the web. If you look for the Japanese descriptions it is described correctly. On the American company descriptions, it includes popcorn. If it was actual popcorn, the fluffy popped items (which are a starchy rice that pops) would be larger. It is a specialty Japanese tea that is blended with fire-toasted rice. During this process of firing (toasting) the rice, it is common for the rice to 'pop' not unlike popcorn, hence the name 'popcorn-tea'.  --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.146.184 (talk • contribs) 
:I visited a large Asian grocery store the other day and inspected a number of brands of Japanese-produced genmaicha, all of which contained a list of ingredients. All included tea and rice as ingredients, and none included corn as an ingredient (although all had a small proportion of tiny white popcorn-like elements). Thus, I can confirm that the American companies stating that the genmaicha they sell contain popcorn are incorrect. Badagnani 21:23, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  If it's any help, I currently have a pack of American (Yama Moto Yama) genmaicha in front of me, which has some occasional very popcorn-like elements, and also lists on its ingredients "sorghum seed". The Commercial_sorghum page shows that this pops in a way similar to popcorn, and what's in this tea could certainly be the popped sorghum pictured on that page, so maybe that's what you're seeing? I wonder if popped sorghum is being called popcorn? Really not sure about this, but I thought I'd mention it in case it helped us figure out what's with the popcorn :) gothick (talk) 14:26, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

text: I have now added a photo of the brewed tea, in a clear glass mug. I also uploaded a photo of the unbrewed tea in an infuser, but there were plenty of those already on the page, so I didn't bother adding it to the gallery. Let me know on my talk page if anyone wants any different pictures; I've got plenty of tea :) gothick (talk) 22:08, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

message: What type(s) of green tea are used in this product? The leaves in the one I have are fairly bright green and flattened, looking something like dragonwell tea. Badagnani 02:06, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As long as I know (not academic research), the tea used in Genmaicha is Bancha. I hear that genmai is used for the purpose to add good taste to bad(Hi) tea.Penpen0216 07:15, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any version of this tea without tea leaves (i.e., just with toasted rice, as with the Korean hyeonmi cha)? Badagnani (talk) 22:40, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Version without tea leaves? 

message: An anonymous edit made the claim that the "popcorn" bits of genmaicha aren't rice, but sorghum.  I'm unable to find any non-blog hits for this in English, and Japanese searches for モロコシ／唐黍 (which I presume is what "sorghum" means here) are also drawing a blank.  Anybody?
