Japanese tea
Steeped green leaves
Japanese tea refers to tea cultivated and processed in Japan, or to tea prepared in Japanese style.
Green teas dominate—sencha for everyday drinking, matcha for the formal tea ceremony.
The phrase often evokes not just the beverage but the aesthetic tradition surrounding it: deliberate preparation, ceramic vessels, mindful consumption.
We stopped at a café for Japanese tea and wagashi.
