Sorry. Don't know any but do you know how to make a new thread? I'm new online and don't know how. :o

Thats odd you cant find it any of the International markets near you. Here is where i order my tea from they have very fast shipping and their tea is very good. They have the matcha tea which is what i assume is what you were are asking for.

Green Tea

What does it mean by green tea from Japan. I thought green tea was from China.

Yuusuke 03-19-2009 08:16 PM

I dunno, i maybe pulling this one out of nowhere but have you tried a tea store, an international shop or possibly a Whole Foods*

and if u tried those and u have none, just order online.

the japanese powdered green tea, it's usually served with many meals, and it's very gritty. There is a difference. green tea is from china, but many chinese customs were adapted a long time ago in japan.

- Powdered Green Tea is called お抹茶 in Japanese and it belongs to the Japanese Green Tea family. There is no equiv. in China.

- Green Tea is called 緑茶 and there is a difference between Chinese Green Tea and Japanese Green Tea, both in the type of tea leaves, how they are grown and the way they are processed. Japanese green tea are steamed and the Chinese variety is fried (not deep fried, 炒める, there is no English equiv. in this case).

You can buy it at specialist tea shops, looks in your business directory. Lucipia is also a place where you can get quality tea imported from China, Japan and any where else tea grows.

Well, i'm sorry!! i guess studying isn't enough! it's no better then how some people type ENGLISH on here!! and, no, i did not use a translator! *throws japanese textbook at computer* maybe if you would correct me, instead of just criticizing how i type, i would get better! we went over this in another thread.

GETTING BACK TO THE POINT,
thank you everyone for your help. i really wish that had a japanese supermarket near me, i would LIVE in it. i would really like to have this green tea handy, but it's a bit expensive. Is it imported FROM japan?

Kinsora, the reason why everyone thinks you are using a translator is because you are so so far off from what we think you are trying to say, you could have not possibly been from a textbook or a dictionary even.

Here, Uriko asked you is there a Mitsuwa Marketplace, and here you answered (literally):

"No, As for me, book market in medicine."

I mean, this is just ridiculous.

sorry, i must be using the wrong kanji, it's supposed to be 日本 and the wrong kanji must be there for "medicine", it's supposed to be without?

i guess until i get better, i'l stop posting in japanese.

大丈夫 キンソラ桟。

i don't drink green tea myself but, when i went with my friend to buy some, i'm pretty sure they were imported from Japan.

Kinsora 04-06-2009 11:54 PM
