Japanese green teas

Green tea (Ryokucha (緑茶, ryokucha?)) is so ubiquitous in Japan that it is more commonly known as "tea" (ocha (お茶, ocha?)) and even "Japanese tea" (nihoncha (日本茶, nihoncha?)). Types of tea are commonly graded depending on the quality and the parts of the plant used as well as how they are processed. There are large variations in both price and quality within these broad categories, and there are many specialty green teas that fall outside this spectrum.
