Sencha Green Tea
What’s the healthiest form of Green Tea?
I heard matcha is healthiest, but I also heard sencha is good.
My personal opinion is that Gyukoro is the healthiest. This is what I found during my reading:
Gyukoro is considered the very best of Japanese green teas. The leaves are flat and pointed, that provide a smooth taste with a light fragrance. During the final weeks before harvesting, these leaves are moved to the shade…out of direct sunlight.

Gyokuro Green Tea
How much does good Gyokuro Tea cost in Japan?
Gyokuro (shaded tea) is one of the most expensive and rare (delicious) green teas in Japan…I’ve heard that (some of?) the best comes from the Uji district. My brother is travelling there soon, and I was wondering if The Tea is much cheaper there than the imported tea found in Europe (or anywhere else in the world).
For example…some very good Gyokuro tea that I found here costs around 50€ for 100g. Is this much cheaper in Japan? Would it be, say, a tenth of the price or more or less?
Thanks for the info.
Great, thanks for the replies. I’m sure he’ll be able to find some good quality Gyokuro for a decent price then 
The highest price I saw for Gyokuro when I visited Uji (for the very purpose of buying some high quality tea) was about 4200 yen (less than 30€) for a 100g.
There are certainly cheaper sorts of Gyokuro available in Japan (I bought a 200g bag for 2000 yen) and, I imagine, more expensive ones as well.

Green tea is high quality Japanese Green Tea. Look for Japanese brands and varieties. Sencha is a Japanese green Tea Variety most often drank at home.
