green tea- Irene. Long reply

[Guest guest]

Hi Irene!

 

There is alot of difference in harvesting and quality between green

tea produced in Japan and green tea produced in China. I have been

living in Japan this past year and have visited China. There is a

very big difference and I highly recommend the Japanese green teat

over the Chinese green tea.

 

I have a website that is interesting, especially for brewing

directions and also to show you what a good green tea should look

like. Most green teas only have a shelf life of about 6-12 months

and all are oxygen and light sensative. The processed stuff in

American grocery stores are really a poor excuse for tea and their

nutrient quality has been quite affected.

 

The tea on this website is pricy though. If I was living in the

States I would still pay that price personally just to get a quality

tea but here in Japan (we are leaving soon to return to our Michigan

home) there is an abundance of high quality sencha at lower prices.

I had my interpreter call a place that has outstanding sencha and I

was able to get 30% off by a volume discount. That takes my price

down to about $7 for 100 grams! That is much better than the $17.00

listed in the website. This tea that I am buying for about $7 (given

yen to dollar exchange rate) is excellent and I have been drinking

this particular brand for about 2 months.

 

So. if you are interested, let me know and I will be glad to find

out if this company has an English speaking sales rep. If you have

friends who are also interested maybe you can order alot and get a

volume discount like I am getting. But, if you decide to go with a

smaller first purchase than I think it is likely you can get a much

better price than this website.

 

The best Japanese green tea website I have found will be listed

below. It is a fun website to go around and prehaps some of its best

value is in a good description of how to brew the leaves (you dont

have to get a special pot though- let me know if you want more

brewing info), and it is helpful to see a picture of what good green

tea looks like. I would go to their sencha page and look at item

number 4 (Fukamishi cha) that is an example of what you want- no

additives like rice or barley- ( common additive to stretch out the

batch)Deep rich green in color- wow, you can just see the vitamines

in the deep color, LOL!

 

The sencha I mentioned is also like this in color and lack of

addtivies. It is also sencha. It just has a lower price <grin>. So

if you are interested I will ask my interpreter to get me english

info on this company. This particular company sells in all the major

stores in my area of Japan.

 

Here is the website. I would really play around at this site and

then go to ordering and check out " sencha " to see how green tea

should look.
