This blend is adapted from a Japanese green tea that contains toasted puffed rice. We use puffed wild rice and add cranberry-like rose hips for a fruit-and-nut variation. After bringing fresh water to a boil, remove it from the heat and let it stand for 2 minutes before pouring over leaves; the right temperature is essential for bringing out the best flavour.

Ingredients
