Historically, these teas have set the standard for combining high quality with reliable taste.
There are three main types produced in Japan:
There are also variations such as bancha, genmaicha, kukicha, and others.
Some vendors may use the same name but purchase their leaf from a different tea garden which can give a different taste.
