Japanese Green TeaHistorically, Japanese green tea has set the standard for combining high quality with reliable taste. There are three main types produced in Japan: sencha which is unshaded, gyokuro which is shaded, and matcha which is shaded and then powdered. Some of the names are included even though they are simply translations. This is because vendors may use the same name but purchase their tea from a different tea garden which can give a different taste. The delight of green tea includes sampling a wide variety until you find your favorite varieties and vendors. Here are over 115 different varieties and grades of green teas from Japan for your enjoyment with some sources.
