โGreen riceโ (Cแปm) is a type of traditional snack made from young sticky rice. After harvesting, the sticky rice grains are roasted evenly in a pan. Being green rice, the grains have a fresh green color and a sweet, nutty fragrance. Cแปm is a specialty in several Northern and Central provinces of Vietnam, with the most famous being Cแปm Lang Vong from Hanoi. Itโs often wrapped in lotus leaves, so when unwrapped, the aroma of young rice and lotus leaves blend harmoniously. The grains are chewy, sweet, and nutty, making Cแปm an unforgettable delicacy for many lovers.
High-quality green tea, when pan-roasted, often has an aroma similar to green rice. The tea liquor also has a bright, clear green color. Not only Vietnamese green tea, but green teas from other countries that are pan-roasted also have same aroma. For example, in China, there are pan-roasted teas such as Longjing and Huangshan Maofeng, while in Japan, thereโs Kamairicha, one of the rare Japanese green teas roasted in a pan.

The reason is that pan-roasted green tea contains certain compounds that are absent in steamed teas. One of the most prominent compounds is 2-Acetyl-1-Pyrroline. This compound is a key aroma component found in rice, bread, and pandan leaves. Thus, when you drink some types of green tea, it may remind you of the fragrance of sticky rice.
Besides of 2-Acetyl-1-Pyrroline, pan-roasted green tea also contains other compounds that create a โrichโ aroma, such as 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine, and 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline.
These compounds are commonly found in pan-roasted green teas. So, when you drink tea and notice this aroma, donโt worryโitโs the natural fragrance of traditional green tea without any artificial intervention.
Not only the natural young rice aroma, good green tea also carries a hint of floral scents, dried fruit, the fresh crispness of green vegetables, and an earthy taste. Itโs a drink that not only benefits health but is also a cherished cultural essence enjoyed by people worldwide.
