Around the world, most green teas are roasted for a smooth, mellow flavor. However, Japanese green teas such as Asamushi Sencha, Yame Gyokuro and Genmaimatcha are steamed, resulting in a vibrant green color and "vegetal" (vegetable-like, "green" or grassy) flavor. Learn what makes each Japanese green tea unique in this illustrated guide to Japanese green teas.
