Japanese Green Tea Assortment

The rarer Japanese teas are actually quite diverse in processing and flavor, but the island nation is particularly known for its focus on precisely cultivated, umami green teas. This is a selection of Japanese greens—though it includes strongly roasted and blended ones—to give an overview of the style and keep the aficionado well stocked.
