Are you looking for the best green tea or a tea with a certain flavor profile, but are not sure where to start? You can sort teas by flavor profile and body, or how heavy and rich a tea is, and choose the perfect tea for you.
The flavor profiles of Japanese tea vary from light-bodied and aromatic Sencha to umami-rich Gyokuro to pan-fried Kamairicha with sweeter roasted and vegetal notes. Each one of our producers has created teas that are unique to their harvesting and processing techniques combined with the particular terroir, or natural environment, where the tea plants are.
There is something for every occasion and every season for you to enjoy. Happy sipping!
