Genmaicha is green tea combined with roasted brown rice, some grains of which have popped. Genmaicha contains very little caffeine and is much less acidic than other teas because of the starch from the rice. The tea contains a range of antioxidants as well as ascorbic acid which have been known to soothe the immune system. It also boasts the same medicinal properties as other green teas.
