Types Of Tea
(Relevant to this website, obviously.)
Hōjicha
ほうじ茶
Roasted green tea, born from the unrelenting heating of leftover stems and leaves that didn't make the cut, has a distinct reddish hue and smoky flavor.
Kabusecha
かぶせ茶
A mild, somewhat bitter tea that's created through its own special process of being covered in the field while growing. The method is similar to that of Matcha, but the flavor is much less distinct.
Genmaicha
玄米茶
A roasted, rice-y type flavor that is stronger than not, a mix of roasted rice and green tea. The flavor is the most untea-like one here and also my favorite.
Wakoucha
和紅茶
Japanese Black Tea is remineiscent of your typical Chinese black tea, a familiar bitterness marking its flavor. It's less strong in flavor and not that popular, but it's worth a try.
Matcha
抹茶
The most iconic tea of Japan, a distinct green derived from its shading process. It's used from tea, ice cream, to noodles. Matcha tastes savorily sweet and herbal that's hard to taste, the best way to explain Matcha is as simply Matcha.
