this is gyokuro (玉露), one of the highest quality Japanese green teas. it is brewed very differently with a high concentration of leaves and low amount of water when brewed. gyokuro is more of an occasional tea.

a tiny fraction of the Japanese growers grow anything other than green tea. white, yellow, oolong, green, and black tea vary in oxidation levels that give them their classification.

this is a Japanese oolong originating from Fukuoka, something that can be difficult to find. it quite a bit lighter than a sencha but still has a rich taste.
this is a Japanese black tea, originating from Saga. this particular tea is grown among Oosmanthus flowers to create a perfumed tea. some flowers are also mixed during production. it is an absolutely amazing tea.
now, there are still many other types of Japanese green teas, from genmaicha (puffed rice) to mugicha (barley tea), but this is all the Japanese tea I have currently. when i get some loose leaf i'll share them
white tea is a minimally oxidized tea that has quite a soft flavor, generally grown in China. Silver Needle is one of the highest quality white teas (assuming the quality of the tea itself is high, otherwise there are filler leaves in the tea).
