Our Favorite Japanese Green Teas:
1. Gyokuro: Shaded for at least three weeks before harvest, gyokuro tea leaves retain high levels of amino acids, antioxidants and umami flavor to bring you health, focus and enjoyment.
2. Matcha: Matcha is a finely ground green tea made with leaves that have been shaded for increased amounts of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and caffeine. When whisked with water, it produces a vibrant, smooth and creamy green shot that can be drunk alone or made into lattes and other matcha recipes.
3. Genmaicha (Japanese Peasant Tea): This Japanese Sencha combined with brown rice dates back to the days of the Samurai when green tea was a luxury and supplies were bolstered with rice. It has a grounding taste and pairs well with food, especially sushi.
4. Kukicha: This "twig tea" is made from the stems and shoots of the tea plant, rather than the leaf. Since caffeine is concentrated in the leaf, it is lower in caffeine and more alkalizing in the body.
In bursts of color and aromatics, Japan inspires hopefulness and joy. Spring is such a cheerful time of year.
