i looked up pictures of sencha, and those are leaves
the type i was refering to are the ones that looked like rice
or some kind of grain

It's Genmaicha. You can grab some from T&T.

Yep, what they said. Open up the kettle next time and you'll see that it looks like maggots. I've been getting mine from Superstore lately.

I buy my Japanese teas from Community, most health food stores have a decent selection as does T&T (brands can be iffy). I like the Kukicha tea best, very refreshing when served cold in the summer or hot otherwise. All teas taste great from the fridge in the summer time. Brands make for different tastes, so if you do not like one brand of tea, try another. Mitoku is my go to brand. Also, Korea and China offer like teas of course.

I use the tea bags at work, otherwise the free floating twigs are preferred:

This is the stuff my wife always buys, think they sell it at superstore, and if not, then its T&T, love the taste.
