Japanese tea tradition dates back many centuries with some of the oldest tea companies in existence. Green tea from Japan  tastes different than their Chinese counterparts. The difference is not in the tea plant, but methods of processing. The main difference is in the first step which is aimed at stopping  oxidation (fermentation) where as Chinese teas are roasted over fire and Japanese teas are steamed. This process gives the tea a very delicate and delightful flavor. Banchas are the most common and inexpensive teas; they are made of older leaves. Good quality Bancha has a sweet taste.  Some of the lower grades may be  bitter. Sencha is one of  the exquisite teas with a very delicate taste and aroma. There are many varieties of Senchas with prices from a few to a few hundred dollars per ounce. In good quality tea  the most important factor is processing - less steaming means retention of flavor, aroma and nutrients
