Japanese Green Tea

Japan produces green tea only, with a production of 100,000 tons yearly. Low in theine yet unusually rich in vitamin C, these bracing and digestive teas are suitable beverages during and after meals, yet they are also appropriate for a relaxing break. To be savoured as is, without milk or sugar.
