Kamairicha is a type of Japanese green tea known for its distinctive flavor and unique production process.
 
 
Unlike most Japanese green teas, Kamairicha is not steamed but instead pan-fired or pan-fried, a method more commonly associated with Chinese green teas. This process imparts a different character to the tea, with a flavor profile that combines elements of both Japanese and Chinese green teas.
 
 
Kamairicha has a mild, savory, and sometimes nutty flavor. It lacks the grassy or vegetal notes often found in steamed Japanese green teas. Instead, it can exhibit slightly toasty, earthy, or even floral undertones.
