Green teas from Japan
In addition, Japanese green teas differ from green teas from other origins because of one important aspect, the fixing process. This step, which is designed to prevent the natural leaf oxidation, is performed through steaming (unlike Chinese method which uses dry heat). Different cultivars, with different cultural practices and processing methods will give a wide range of Japanese tea types. Every year as summer comes, we celebrate the Grand Crus arrival. These first flush teas, usually only available on very limited quantity, offer iodine and marine aromas, with pleasant nuances, from fruity and buttery to vanilla and more… It is a perfect time to discover these refreshing teas which give for Japanese tea lovers an unparalleled flavor.
