Types of tea
There are three types of green tea commonly found either in your local store or at one of the many online stores. The first is “matcha”; ground to a fine powder from young gyokuro green tea leaves, this cannot be bought easily by the average person. Second is “sencha”; a very common creation reaped from the tea bushes grown in the wild fields. The leaves are broken up but still very solid as it mixes with the hot water and creates a yellowy-green drink that tastes between sweet and bitter. This is one of the most popular types in Japan. The last is “bancha” made not from the tea leaf, but from the tea stalk itself.
