Japanese Green Tea - Everything You Need To Know

[@MrYougotcaught]

Ok so, i really, ABSOLUTELY, love how the Japanese incorporated toasted rice into green tea, and BAM Genmaicha. The cereal sweetness from the toasted rice simmered with green tea is amazing and makes my eyes roll back into my skull it's delicious

[@jennifermorrison7758]

This video is exactly what I was looking for

[@Allyourbase1990]

Didn’t care for sencha the first time . I was used to just regular cheap green tea . After seeing all the benefits , I’ve switched to sencha and matcha ! These videos are very helpful

[@Nioteas]

Im so glad you like the video! I hope you get to try some of our teas sometime :)

[@vinyleyezz]

Excellent info! Thank you for making this video!

Hey, fancy seeing you here!

LOVE the content you guys have been putting out on YT and Instagram lately

[@Nioteas]

[@sh4nn4ro]

I didnt know about hojicha before but for christmas i got a weird roasted japanese tea and its somethin completely diffrent but its so delicious i had to browse the internet and ended up here ^^

[@Nioteas]

yes it is really good! We're so glad you found our channel, we love to have you here :)

Years ago, there was a Japanese steak house called Benihana of Tokyo. As I recall, the tea served had a very earthy, nutty taste. I loved it. The tea was served in a handmade earthen pottery cup. Can you suggest what kind of tea they served? Bancha perhaps? Another question is: do you think the cup influenced the taste of the tea? (Or perhaps just the experience of it?). At home, I usually drink my Japanese tea in a celadon porcelain cup. I would think that makes the tea taste more refined.

[@Nioteas]

Yes the tea cup and teapot can definitely accentuate the flavors of the tea (adding minerality and even decreasing bitterness) but this is pretty slight. The tea you were served was likely either genmaicha or Bancha. Genmaicha Im thinking is more likely because this is commonly served at restaurants and it does have that nutty taste. Also Hojicha is a possibility!

[@2youngbon2]

Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, it very well could be that the tea served was Genmaicha!

One of the best edited and produced videos ever on this subject! Thanks!

[@Nioteas]

oh wow! That really means a lot. We have plenty of other mini documentaries like this if you're interested

[@vx8431]

I hope you get to talk about some of the smaller styles of tea from Japan in the future like Nadeshiko, Tamaryokucha and the ever so elusive Japanese black tea Wakoucha.

[@Nioteas]

Yes this is a good idea! We do have a Nadeshiko tea and a tamaryokucha if you are interested: nioteas.com/products/nadeshiko-rose-japanese-fermented-tea

[@honeyapple4511]

Thank you for an informative and well produced video! There's a Japanese grocery store that I get bottled jasmine tea from and I just picked up some loose leaf sencha tea. Looking forward to trying it soon

Japanese tea is also produced with less pesticides and it's more nutritious than Chinese teas for example.

[@steventheartist7667]

,ok where can I buy Japanese tea 🍵 The good stuff,

[@EddieJerahian]

whats the difference between karigane and kukicha?

[@nscott2590]

The genmaicha is great. The toasty sweetness is exactly what green tea needs.

[@narayansingh5795]

In all these teas which one is best for weight loss and detoxification..plz suggest your suggestion will be highly appreciated 👍😊

[@Nioteas]

when it comes to anything health related the answer will usually be matcha because you are drinking the entire leaf instead of just the extraction

[@Nioteas]

the only thing with matcha is it is quite high in caffeine so if you are sensitive to it you may want to avoid matcha

[@chrisduran]

Hi thanks for this. Does freezing your teas degrade them at all?

[@Nioteas]

the humidity should be so low that you can keep them in the freezer if they are unopened. You don't want to store them after opening because then the humidity from the air will freeze and create "freezer burn"

[@chrisduran]

No matter how many types of tea exist, in my view.. they're hot leaf juices

[@Nioteas]

have you tried them all?

[@nscott2590]

I’ve definitely been pronouncing gyokuro incorrectly 😂

[@Nioteas]

Ive pronounced it wrong for so long too! You can see it in earlier videos

[@mendingwall3823]

My sencha is never that green and I buy high quality and organic 🤔

[@Nioteas]

Its not really an indicator of quality necessarily because there are high quality green teas that are yellow. It's more the type of tea, in this case we are using deep steamed "fukamushi" teas. You can find some great ones on our website!

okay thank you for the feedback! I was thinking people would want it informational dense without "fluff"
