The benefits of tea
Indispensable for a happy life, Tea every day. Matcha is especially popular around the world. I always bring matcha as a souvenir to overseas visitors. Recently, I also gave matcha to my friend in San Francisco. When I gave them some homemade miso, they were very happy.
Different types of tea are grown in each region of Japan, such as Uji tea in Kyoto, Yaotome tea in Fukuoka, Shizuoka tea in Shizuoka, etc. Did you know that Japanese tea has many health benefits and effects?

Japanese tea is rich in catechins
|
Effective in preventing cancer and diabetes

Rich in vitamins, especially vitamins A, C, and E
These vitamins help prevent skin problems and promote healthy skin.

I Matcha is the most nutritious, so instead of coffee, I make a simple cup of matcha and drink it.

Types of Japanese Tea
______________________________________ ______________________________________
Sencha
|
Generally, this refers to "regular sencha." Regular sencha is made by steaming the picked leaves immediately to stop the action of oxidizing enzymes, and accounts for approximately 80% of the green tea produced in Japan. This tea has a refreshing aroma, umami, and a balanced astringency, and is easy to enjoy down the throat.
|
Hojicha
|
This mainly refers to tea made by roasting bancha or lower-grade sencha over high heat. It has a fragrant aroma and flavor, and is low in caffeine and tannins, making it gentle for children and the elderly.
|
Stem Tea
|
This tea is made from the stems of Sencha and Gyokuro tea plants. The taste and aroma vary depending on the type of tea stem used. It has a refreshing aroma and a lightly sweet taste, making it a recommended tea for when you want a change of pace.
|
Gyokuro
|
It is made in the same way as Sencha, using new buds from Ohishita tea fields (tea fields shaded from sunlight). It is characterized by its rich umami flavor and subdued astringency. It is slowly brewed in low-temperature water and is a representative high-quality tea that allows you to enjoy its rich umami and sweetness.
|
Matcha (tencha)
|
The raw material is a tea called tencha, which, like gyokuro, is made by steaming new buds grown in Ohishita tea gardens and drying them without rolling. Matcha is a finely powdered tea made by grinding this tencha in a stone mill. It is produced in large quantities in Kyoto Prefecture and Aichi Prefecture.
|
Guri tea (tamaryokucha)
|
It was given this name because it is finished in a curved shape like a curved ball. There are two types: "steamed", in which the picked leaves are steamed to stop fermentation, and "pot-roasted", in which the leaves are roasted in a pot to stop fermentation.
|
Bancha
|
Today, it refers to lower-grade sencha. It is less sweet than sencha, but has a light, refreshing taste and is widely enjoyed as tea to accompany meals.
|
It is a blended tea made by adding roasted gencha tea to bancha or sencha tea. Recently, there are many varieties available, such as those with a higher proportion of brown rice or those containing matcha. Like hojicha, it does not contain a high amount of caffeine, so it is a tea that can be safely drunk before bed.
|
The tea we drink every day supports our lives from the inside out. Why not take a break and enjoy a cup of tea in your daily life?
Maybe it will taste even better if you brew it in a teapot?
