Japanese Green Tea, The Perfect Cup | Fuji Story ★ ONLY in JAPAN

- Japanese Green Tea has a lot of health benefits, but did you know the water temperature can change a lot of those - and significantly alter the taste?
This time, I travel to Fuji City in Shizuoka to visit 2 green tea masters called “cha-shi” who will tell us how to make the perfect cup and how to control the taste with temperature, explain the benefits - and how to get the most out of each drop!
Varieties of Green Tea in Fuji City
① Sencha 煎茶 (1st flush, Japan's most popular tea)
② Fukamushi Sencha 深蒸し煎茶 (Steamed sencha)
③ Kukicha 茎茶 (Twig tea)
④ Bancha 番茶 (2nd flush of Sencha)
⑤ Genmaicha (Added popped rice to Bancha)
⑥ Houjicha ほうじ茶 (Roasted Bancha)
Note: Gyocha 玉露 (Matcha 抹茶 is stone ground Gyocha) are typically grown in Kyoto.
★ What is the perfect temperature for the perfect cup of green tea?
Sencha, 70C / 158F for 2-3 minutes
If you want more caffeine and a bitter cup, use 100C boiling hot water.
Less to no caffeine, use warm 50C water - it'll be sweeter too.

I was not expecting that ending haha
People that did not stay til the end missed out! That was so unexpected!
Bungee!!
Thanks so much for having me with you this time, John! Great job on the video! I hope people love seeing this and then have a laugh at my behind the scenes video. Let's do it again soon! 😍🚴🍵
These days though, green tea is cropping up more in teabag form and, at least in London, you can find many of these drinks in Asian supermarkets. Love them as they are often not sweet which makes them feel so much more refreshing!
Can't believe one man is making these videos. Quality is that of proper tv shows with huge budgets and production team.
I would love the animated intro as a "tea" shirt 😂.
😂
The beautiful Mount Fuji area...
the absolute perfect place to produce green tea. Now that is top-quality green tea! And that shot of Fuji in the background with the Shinkansen is quite the Japanese shot. Traveling by bike is the best way to explore places, it's how you really dive into the area and see what it has to offer.
I’ve been drinking green tea since I was a teenager, I’m now in my mid forties. I never put sweeteners in my tea, I feel that disrespects the tea. Plus it tastes funny. Lol I can’t imagine my life without it! The health benefits are so amazing!
I drink both tea 🍵 and coffee ☕ as I enjoy the flavor aspects of both. Beautifully shot and informative John. Good to see Dean join you. Kudos to you for that epic bungee jump! 👍
Yep like both
I am a coffee drinker, but I really love Genmaicha! The mix of the rice and tea is a really pleasant taste.
I like both, balance is key.
Yes, John. I already switched to pure green tea from coffee years ago for no reason. I just recently found out the enormous amount of benefits it gives to our body, and I am really happy 😃 One thing I noticed, my skin has always been glowing- I am close to my 30's and no wrinkles at all.
P.S. I am brewing green tea between 90-100°C for 5-10 mins. 1 -2 cups per day after my last meal.
I was having too much coffee for a teenager! Like way too much! at the age of 17 i made the switch. I no longer drink caffeinated coffee, only decaf. It makes me sick, I can't handle the caffeine that is found in it. Now if I need caffeine, I go for tea and I have never looked back. I feel like tea is much better and I don't have this wild crash in the afternoon that leaves me feeling exhausted.
That ending though... LOL... Very brave, John.
🍵 I hated my first bottled green tea when I arrived in Shinjuku . It was so bitter and unpleasant. Now it's the only type of tea I thoroughly enjoy. The soothing quality of it is irreplaceable. Thanks, John. This has got 'love letter to green tea' written all over the episode. 🍵
When you get past that first few, a new taste your body doesn’t register, it becomes refreshing! I was the same - with beer and coffee too 😂 and broccoli 🥦
same to me
Thats weird to me too. The #1 bottled green tea brand in Japan is also sold worldwide and it honestly tastes bitter and bland, also its pee colored. The high quality loose leaf I buy direct from Japanese farmers brews into an almost neon green, and is naturally sweet. Personally I prefer the fresh loose leaf, and still find it weird Japan loves the bottled stuff when they having amazing tea a few miles away.
The more bitter the stronger it is, I hated bitter tea or just tea in general but now I can’t drink those cheap tea bag kind of tea, it’s too bland for me I need it to be very strong
@@__aceofspades they like bottled stuff the same reason why microwaveable food is popular world wide in developed countries - no time, disposable income. I do hope younger Japanese learn about ocha because for many of my friends, they didn’t know how water temperature controls sweetness-bitterness and the variety preparation. Interesting! Also, coffee is just better marketed. We don’t see ocha houses like coffee houses. It’s not cool.
Another outstanding video! Thank you John so much for your work on the platform!
Yesss, happy to see you back.
Love the quality and content of your videos this one is another amazing video!
Love it! Can’t wait for next episode
Enjoying my cup of refreshing green tea while watching this episode!!!
AHHH FINALLY!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOO LONG!!!!!
By the way, I love that you added the bungee jump. That's was a beautiful gorge underneath the bridge. An irresistible view of the colorful landscape of Japan.
Are you Japanese?
Great video, love how your videos are fun and educational!
As always amazing content and information. Thank you so much!!! Definitely appreciate you and all that you do John.
観ていてほっこりするような、あたたかい癒しの動画をありがとうございます！
This is my favorite kind of John Daub video. Thanks, John!
This was a fascinating look into the the world of Japanese Green Tea. I had no idea of the variety of teas and the difference that temperature makes in the taste.
Love this format over the blog walks. Either way thanks for creating great content!
High Quality Production Value!!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Sugoi! SO much information about Green tea! Beautiful scenery also. Thank you, John! 💞

Keep up the quality content.
I love this format, a quick and an efficient way to tell a story.

Almost to 100K John. Congratulations!!
Really enjoy this video thank you so much John and Only in Japan production! 🥺❤️😍😘💕
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, and it’s very informative. You really make beautiful videos. I always wondered why some use tiny bowls to drink the tea. Makes sense. I can’t wait to see the upcoming ones. Love the bungee jump!
Sorry I missed the notification for this! Thanks for the high quality work ❤️
Very quality production, John. Informative and enjoyable. Thanks for your hard work and dedication.
Very nice and instructive episode 🙂 The bungee scene 🤣
My favorite video of Only in Japan. I love green tea!
This was a really informative video. I really want to try some different types of green tea now. The cinematography was great in this video. So many cool shots from different angles.
Oh man, awesome, new fully produced episodes!
So much passion in all your videos, love your stuff. Amazing that you still have so much creativity and motivation after all these years. Keep it up.👍
What a great video. A lot of information, I can not wait for future green tea videos.
That's so much to learn about tea, it's sophisticated yet elegant. I drink both tea and coffee in a daily basis. Most of the time, I will start the day with a cup of coffee and sipping tea through out the day. I especially like a cup of Matcha right after meal, that's THE best way to finish a meal in my opinion. I didn't expected the ending of the video, but I ENJOYED it very much. Thanks John and Dean!
Glad to get to see another edited video, that was very informative.
Thanks for sharing this show! It is good to learn more about Japanese tea making and drinking.
I have switched to green tea many years a go. Every day I am having a bowl of matcha + cup or two of sencha / gyokuro. Japanese green tea is the best. Great video.
great video quality...and the ending was really great
Love, Love, Love, Green Japanese Tea. Great video.
Green Tea is yummy!
I absolutely love these kind of videos and I really wish you would do more of them.

thanks John, cant wait to visit this place and experience it... keep up the great content rolling as always! BTW just brewed my cup of green tea 🍵
Hello John!!! So good to see you!!! Thanks for the video
Very informative! Never seen the difference between brewing temperatures explained so clearly.
I drink tea many times a week, jasmin tea is my favorite
Ooh! Jasmine Tea is so good too! I backpacked China in 2000-2001 and would sip tea on long train rides for days. Now everything is so fast. Jasmine tea to me = slow down and relax 😌
Great video and very well produced
Awesome content as always Mr. John Daub!
英語で丁寧に緑茶を紹介してくれてありがとうございます。
Enjoyed the video. Very informative and Stunning scenery.
Gonna try some green tea for first time.😀👍
beautiful and informative video, thanks John
I love this video on Japanese Green Tea. Everything you covered in this video is something that I would like to check out when I am finally able to travel to Japan. I especially would love to try that green tea tasting at the plantation. That view of Mount Fuji in the background while tasting the tea is breathtaking. I'm in love with Mount Fuji. What a great view from the fields of beloved green tea.
Work of art once again love Johns work always informational now gonna have to pick up some matcha
When I'm in Japan, I tend to drink more tea than coffee. This was an awesome video, John. I didn't know the difference between sencha and hojicha, but now I do.
Love your work
Top 5 channels on youtube 100%, keep it up John!
Another reason to visit Japan, trying Green Tea from the source! Thanks John for another interesting peek into Japan 🇯🇵
Great video, John! Loved the bungee jump at the end
A most enjoyable video; opening drone shots of Fuji-san were spectacular. And I'll try brewing tea at various temperatures, now.
Great video john! Loved the ending 😂
That ending looks fun.
Great video and look forward to learning more in this series. Thanks, John.
Wow. Such an amazing video! The ending had me laughing so hard, John! Your videography skills truly shine in this episode! Well done!
Thank you for the very informative video!
awesome video sir I love green tea
great production
Full of information & I love it! Cool 😎
Green tea has always been my secondary to coffee, as in I drink my morning coffee then green tea all day long. Helps me get through my day and in the winter months I squeeze a lemon slice and a few slivers of ginger as an immune boost to help fight off anything coming my way. This is a great video on the different benefits to green tea.
Green Tea is awesome! Now it's AWESOMER after watching this! I've been drinking Green Tea since I was a kid and never knew about the different water temperatures bringing out a different taste. Must experiment with the water now. 😄
Thank you John for another beautiful, inspiring, informative and amazing episode. Looking forward to learning more about Green Tea. Keep up the awesomeness 😁🤙
Really loved the vid John 😄👍
Whoa, the tea fields and Fuji are gorgeous!
As a long time Green Tea drinker I enjoyed this. 😃
I remember my 1st trip to Japan, buying a bottle of green tea from the local DonQi. I took one mouthful and was pretty sure I had picked up cooking oil instead of green tea. Never again!
However, I now find myself looking on Amazon for some sencha, a proper tea pot, and youtube instructions of how to make it properly. Looking forward to my first real experience, coming from a lifelong coffee addict, it should be fun!. Thanks john & Dean, great to see you collab again.
Very informative hope to see more videos!
Thanks for the great video. Yes it makes me want to drink more green tea.
Great video as always John, now I have to make myself a cup of tea! 🍵💜
What stunning footage, you’re lucky you got so many shots of Fuji on a clear day! I’m happy how this turned out, I would love to try more authentic teas like this. I usually drink herbal tea to help combat my anxiety and help me sleep, so it’s interesting to see how the heat can affect the properties. Never was a fan of coffee or black tea though. They’re too strong for me and caffeine can give me headaches. It’s just amazing the amount of detail goes into producing green teas in Japan.
Great video, learned so much. I'm a huge tea fan. Thank you!
The farm’s atmosphere is so great
This is so knowledgeable thanks John 😊
Loving the really cinematic quality, and props to you for bungee jumping!
Wow! Interesting story and amazing filming. Beautiful place and nice work John. ✌️
