Green Tea Flavor

Green tea has a light, delicate flavor that is often described as fresh, grassy, or vegetal. It is less astringent and bitter compared to black tea, and has a more subtle, natural sweetness. The flavor of green tea can vary depending on where it is grown and how it is processed, but common notes include grass, hay, seaweed, and even hints of nuttiness. Some green teas can have floral notes, such as jasmine or cherry blossom, while others have a more herbaceous or earthy taste. Japanese green teas like sencha or matcha are known for their bright, fresh flavor, while Chinese green teas like dragonwell or longjing have a nuttier, slightly sweeter taste. When brewed correctly, green tea should have a clear, light yellow-green color and a delicate, soothing aroma. The flavor of green tea is best enjoyed plain, without added sugar or milk, in order to fully appreciate its natural taste.
