Is it true that the Japanese make their tea much weaker than in the UK and US? How much would they use for 2 cups of tea?

Honestly I disagree with what was said below. I didn’t find what you wrote ‘off putting’ at all. On the contrary I found your interjections personal enough for me to agree that you had history in tasting, as well as choosing teas that you enjoyed. In a way it made me feel more apt to try the those I’d never have picked up. I am someone who enjoys understanding what’s being said, and getting closer to the experience of the writer, so I very much enjoyed reading this. Thank you very much. Keep doing what you do. :)

Hey, I didn’t find your article negative at all. I thought it was very informative! I came away with a lot of info I hadn’t know before. The fact that you expressed your honest opinion was expected and appreciated. You have every right to express your opinion, it’s your article. Why would that be inappropriate? I don’t care if you hated ALL of them, it’s an insightful read. So thanks for the lesson in Japanese teas, now I know a little bit more than what I expected. :) Ja!

I fell in love with mugicha when I had a homestay in Japan last summer. I object to the idea that it tastes like watery Cheetos. If anything, it’s a less-bitter coffee flavor, which is one reason I like it so much. I agree with a number of other comments: that this came off as a more negative article. It’s be a shame for someone looking for a new type of tea to try, to avoid certain teas just because you didn’t like them and thus gave them a bad description :( Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so too is flavor.

You had better try Gyokuro, top grade green tea, along Sannenzaka to Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto though it is very expensive.
