When green tea arrived in India, many that were made and sold here were bitter, but people took to them because they were marketed as a healthy drink. In these past years, I have given in and tried these teas. To my happy surprise, many have been simply delicious. I am leaning towards steamed Japanese greens this year, seeing how quickly and eagerly I am going through a gift of the exquisite dark green Japanese gyokuro. On some days, I catch myself desiring its umami flavours and the aroma of the cooked greens. I am eager to sample more spring green tea from Japan, although it's not too easy to source.
