Guricha Japanese Green Tea
Guricha is different from Sencha both in appearance and taste. This tea benefits from a specific process that creates a tea similar in appearance to the pan-fired teas of China. Guricha is steamed and fashioned into "comma" shaped leaves by omitting the final kneading process.
