During the period of WWII those tea sellers didn't want to waste the rice bread crumbs and try to come out with a new use for them. They roasted the crumbs together with tea leaves and they never expected that they have created a new flavor for a tea which will be widely spread and popular around the world in future.
Because those tea sellers only concerned about the way to reduce the tea leaves in blends by adding more fried rice in without ruining the tea flavor. Finally they managed to find thebest ratio between roasted rice and tea leaves and made this new kind of tea could be sold in a cheap price ordinary people could afford easily.
