Green tea's sweetness exists as part of the overall flavor balance, rather than directly like sugar. It harmonizes with umami, bitterness, and other flavor components to create the mellow and complex taste characteristic of green tea.

Astringency is an element that gives tea complexity and depth. This astringency is deeply involved in why tea becomes a luxury item. In addition to astringency and bitterness, other flavor components (such as umami and sweetness) interact to create a multilayered taste.

The umami flavor of green tea comes from theanine, which is one of the umami components and is unique to green tea. It creates a deeply satisfying taste that makes you feel relieved and helps relax your mind and body.

There are over 200 types of substances that give tea its aroma, and they vary depending on the type of tea plant, environment, and tea production method. Comparing drinks will make the individual features stand out more. Please find your favorite cup.
