Frequently Asked Questions

We answer everything you want to know about Japanese Green Tea.

What is the difference between Japanese green tea and other green teas?

Japanese green tea is typically steamed during processing, which preserves its vibrant green color and fresh, grassy, umami flavor. In contrast, many other green teas are pan-fired, resulting in a more toasted or nutty profile.

Which Japanese green tea is best for beginners?

Sencha is widely considered the best starting point due to its balanced, refreshing, and approachable flavor. If you prefer something richer, try a high-quality matcha or a nutty genmaicha.

How should I store my Japanese green tea to keep it fresh?

To maintain freshness, store your tea in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dark place away from moisture, heat, and strong odors. For long-term storage, keeping it in the refrigerator or freezer is recommended.

Can I use Japanese green tea powder for baking?

Yes! Culinary-grade matcha powder is excellent for baking. It adds a beautiful color and a distinct, earthy flavor to cakes, cookies, lattes, and smoothies.

Does Japanese green tea contain caffeine?

Yes, most Japanese green teas contain caffeine, though generally less than coffee. The amount can vary by type; for example, matcha (where you consume the whole leaf) typically has a higher caffeine content than steeped sencha.
