all base teas comes from the Camellia sinensis. tea grading is the process of evaluating the quality of the tea leaves themselves. China grades based off of the leaf size. Japan's grading is more based off of harvest time and the parts of the plant used.

bancha is one of the "lowest" grade Japanese teas and is harvested between summer and autumn. banchas are generally far more affordable than higher grade teas.

this is iribancha (kyobancha), one of my favorite teas. it is a bancha that originates from Kyoto and is the last tea harvested. it is roasted, leaving quite a smoky taste and aroma.

this is hojicha (焙じ茶), a roasted bancha which is considered a far lighter tea. it still has a rich flavor from the roasting. both iribancha and hojicha are still green teas.

this is sencha (煎茶), a higher grade Japanese green tea. it is my personal favorite, though good quality can end up being fairly expensive. it has quite an "umami" flavor that can be unusual when trying it for the first time.

Japan has shorter growing season and grows their tea a bit differently than in China. Gyokuro and Sencha, the highest quality Japanese teas, are both shaded (grown under shade) so its really a different way of growing
