Frequently asked questions
What makes Japanese green tea different?
Most Japanese green teas are steamed right after picking, which gives them a bright colour and a fresh, grassy, often savoury taste.
What water temperature is best for Japanese tea?
Below boiling: around 70–80°C (160–175°F) for sencha, and even cooler for gyokuro. Steep for 1–2 minutes.
What is the difference between sencha, gyokuro and matcha?
Sencha is grown in full sun, gyokuro is shaded before harvest for a sweeter taste, and matcha is shaded leaf ground into a fine powder.
