Green Tea

Of course, different green teas may boast slightly different flavors, which can range from nutty to fruity to almost seaweed-like. Different flavors are usually explained by where the tea was grown as well as the specifics of how it was processed. Here are some of the most common types of green tea

• Biluochun, a Chinese-style green tea with a strong aroma and vegetal, sometimes fruity taste
• Genmaicha, one of several Japanese green teas that’s often considered a lower grade of Sencha
• Gyokuro, another Japanese-style tea with a strong, savory flavor akin to seawood or soup stock
• Laoshan, which makes for a creamy, smooth brew and a sweet-and-buttery flavor
• Longjing or Dragon Well, a hand-roasted type of Chinese tea with a fresh, slightly sweet, slightly nutty, flavor profile
• Matcha tea, a Japanese-style tea and one of the most popular green teas around. It boasts a creamy, savory, and almost bittersweet flavor
• Sencha, one of the most popular types of Japanese tea, which is usually savory, grassy, and slightly bitter and may carry a scent of melon or pine
