Japan
Tea was introduced to Japan in the 9th Century by Buddhist monks who brought it back with them from China. The most important plantations are in the region of Shizuoka – picture perfect on the foothills of the holy mountain Fujiyama. Almost half of Japans’ tea is harvested here – particularly Sencha.
Other important regions include Kagoshima and of course Kyoto . Kyoto supplied teas to the Emperor’s palace hundreds of years ago and today supplies the world with some of Japan’s best teas including Gyokuro as well as some of the highest quality Senchas.
Japan only produces green teas and at varying qualities as well as price ranges. Not all Senchas are for example equal to each other. The general rule of thumb when assessing the quality of Japanese green teas is the greener the tea the better the quality is.
