These are the Matcha Teas and Powder we drink and recommend
Matcha is a stone-ground powder made from shade-grown tea leaves — you drink the whole leaf, which means significantly more antioxidants and L-theanine than any other green tea. Culinary grade is perfect for lattes and smoothies, while ceremonial grade is meant to be whisked with water and enjoyed straight. Read our full matcha guide →
These are the Hojicha Teas and Powder we drink and recommend
Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea with a warm, nutty, caramel-like flavor and naturally low caffeine — making it an ideal evening tea or coffee alternative. The roasting process gives it a distinctive reddish-brown color and a comforting aroma that’s unlike any other green tea. Read our full hojicha guide →
These are the Sencha Teas and Tea Leaves we drink and recommend
Sencha is Japan’s most popular everyday green tea — fresh, grassy, and perfectly balanced. It’s the best starting point if you want to experience authentic Japanese green tea flavor without the intensity of matcha or the sweetness of gyokuro. Brew at 70–80°C for 60–90 seconds.

These are the Genmaicha Teas and Tea Leaves we drink and recommend
Genmaicha blends green tea with toasted brown rice, creating a nutty, popcorn-like flavor that’s approachable and hard to over-brew. It’s one of the most beginner-friendly green teas and pairs well with meals. Some kernels actually pop during roasting — that’s where the “popcorn tea” nickname comes from.

These are the Gyokuro Teas and Tea Leaves we drink and recommend
Gyokuro is Japan’s most prized green tea, shade-grown for 3–4 weeks to boost L-theanine and develop an intense, sweet umami flavor. It brews at a much lower temperature than other teas (50–60°C) and rewards patience with a rich, buttery cup. This is the tea for special occasions. Read our full gyokuro guide →
These are the Kukicha Teas and Tea Leaves we drink and recommend
Kukicha is made from the stems and twigs of the tea plant, giving it a uniquely creamy, slightly sweet flavor with very low caffeine. It’s a fantastic everyday tea and one of the gentlest Japanese teas on the stomach. Brew at 75–80°C for 60–90 seconds. Read our kukicha guide →
These are the Jasmine Teas and Tea Leaves we drink and recommend
Jasmine green tea is scented with fresh jasmine blossoms over several nights, creating a fragrant, floral cup that’s naturally light and refreshing. One of the most popular teas in China and a crowd-pleaser for guests — the aroma intensifies beautifully across multiple steeps. Brew at 80–85°C for 60–120 seconds. Read our jasmine guide →
