How much green tea does /jp/ consume? I recently started to get more into it though I normally drink black, however this Jade Dragon tea I got from a relative has been exquisite and is making me rethink my usual habits.

Are there any tips for brewing it just right /jp/ can share?

Do you have any varieties you would recommend? I've tried tea a few times, but mostly disliked it because it tasted like water that had been steeped in grass

The Jade Dragon I mentioned in the OP is the first time I've tasted pure green tea that relaxes me while having a nice taste. Though I think the brewing time and temp probably matter a bit too, but I just use an electric kettle for that now.

I just get sencha teabags from the local international market. I don't think I have the patience to brew "proper" tea but I would like to try some one day.

for several years i was very meticulous and careful with proper brewing of high quality loose leaf tea from many countries in asia and east africa

nowadays i just drink yorkshire gold in boiling tapwater.

Still not as bad as microwaved water.

I remember some guy on 4/qa/ (or maybe it was here, it was a long time ago now) would links a specific brand of it on Amazon once in a while. I'd like to try drinking green tea and other healthy stuff soon, but maybe I should just try growing it? Maybe the tea bushes take a long time to become established or there's a special technique to doing it.

Japanese Sencha and Bancha are really good, you generally brew them in ~80C, I also drank some really good chineese green tea, but I can't remember what it was called :|
Also be sure to try jasmine oolong, it's really good (you should brew oolong in ~90C, or so I was told)

I would like to get into green tea but I've found it really difficult to know what to buy. The only tea specialty store I've been too locally isn't very friendly, and the problem is you can't really sample the different types. You have to blind buy a 50 or 100 gram bag and hope that it's nice. I've tried having matcha from a bubble tea store in Singapore and physically couldn't finish it even with all the sugar and milk.

Yeah I doubt many stores would offer free samples or anything, one online store where I buy yerbamate throws in some samples when I make larger order.
On the bright side, unless you're some velvet-tongue gourmet, most of the tea groups taste similar, so green tea usually tastes like a grean tea, with slight differences between the specific kinds.
If you're worried about intense flavour I'd suggest buying white tea, you brew it in ~70C and it's generally rather mild.

Bought a bag of green tea, thinking I'd drink it every morning. Haven't used it once... Boiling water is too mendokusai.

Not very much, I prefer oolong and white tea.

Buy an electric kettle, they're too useful to live without.

 No.92829

Do foreigners really not have electric kettles in their homes?

 No.92830

>>92829
I don't, I like boiling water in classic kettle, beige and painted in weeds and flowers.

I don't drink tea because I don't want to have a trade deficit with China.
