Tea drinking didn't become popular until the 12th century when the upper class people began to enjoy maccha, a high quality powdered green tea.“

„Oh, and I shouldn't forget about Genmai-cha. I think it is the most unique tea of all Japanese teas. Genmai-cha means "(roasted) brown rice tea." This blend originated with Japanese peasants who would stretch their precious supply of tea by blending it with roasted rice in an era when tea was still a barely affordable luxury. Don't you feel like having a cup of Japanese o-cha?“
