Japanese Tea
Japanese tea tastes like nothing else. Fresh, green, vibrant. The range runs from bright and grassy to warm and toasty, with a savory depth that sets it apart from other greens. Some teas here are vegetal, almost like steamed greens. Others are roasted and nutty with barely any bitterness. You will also find high-grade ceremonial matcha sourced directly from Japan.
Japanese loose leaf tea brews fast. Most styles are ready in under a minute, and the leaves go for multiple rounds. If you have only tried Chinese-style greens, the difference is immediate. Japanese tea hits you with more body and a savory fullness that other greens do not have. The roasted options are the easiest entry point if you want something warm.
