In Japan tea is a religion, philosophy, elixir and an art form. You can distinguished a Japanese green tea from any other tea by the suffix cha. Cha is tea in Japanese and most Japanese teas end with cha; matcha, genmaicha, hoijicha, bancha and so on (except the most supreme of all Japanese green tea, Gyokuro means precious dew and does not need to be identified as a mere tea)
The history of tea in Japan started in the 8th century when Emperor Shomu heard of this medicinal plant used by the Chinese Buddhist monks for mental alertness and the Emperor invited 100 Chinese Buddhist monks to his palace to try tea. Although tea was China’s most precious export, as an offering the monks brought seeds of the tea plant and not too long after tea was planted and cultivated successfully in Japan.
