Buying advice

Consider the type of Japanese tea you prefer: matcha for a rich, creamy experience, sencha for daily drinking, gyokuro for special occasions, or hojicha for a roasted flavor. Look for reputable brands known for freshness, and check the harvest date (first flush is often best). Price reflects quality, but there are affordable options like genmaicha and kukicha. Store tea in an airtight container away from light and heat.
