Japanese Green Tea
 

Every time when I go abroad (I mean out side of Japan), I bring Japanese green tea packed in small paper bags because I found the "Green Tea" of each location is totally different from JAPANESE Green Tea.

I also serve these Japanese green tea for local people and they welcome it.

If you experienced only your local green tea, please try Japanese green tea. It will not sweet rather bitter but tasty. I drink Japanese Green Tea everyday not for health but I love it.

I enjoy myself japanese green tea, in packs (I purchase bio sencha from Kagoshima) or even "en vrac" (I mean the dried leaves). For my last birthday my sister offered me japanese sencha with cherry tree flowers (I should mean "sakura no hana ^^). That's smell excellent, and it is so excellent to drink that I used half of the tea pot (well decorated, it's very nice to see too) in half a month! Well, if I really like sencha and bancha, this is the best I drank (but sorry, I never had the opportunity to drink matcha :( )

I love Japanese green tea! It has a wonderful flavour! :rheart:

I usually bring some good loose green tea back with me when I return from Japan. I also get a fresh stock of decent matcha...and keep it in the fridge to try to keep it as fresh as possible as long as possible.

We buy loose green tea at the asian grocery too. We can get Motoyamamoto green tea bags in the local asian grocery and we literally buy it by the case. My wife and I are addicted to green tea.

I drink sakura-cha not so often only in cherry blossom season or at some celebration. Of cause it tastes good as well as the visual.

How do yo get "Japanese" green tea in London? Do you get it at Japan centre?

I also like Jasmine tea when I take Chinese food.

Oh, really? but it might be Yama-moto-yama.
