'''Aracha''', translated "raw tea", is an unfinished, Japanese [[green tea]]. Unlike other green teas all parts of the tea plant are used as Aracha is still unsorted. The liquor has therefore a stronger aroma and the color of the infusion is darker. Aracha is mostly traded at major markets where it is bought from wholesalers in order to produce blends ([[Blend]]). The individual components of the tea are then sorted by large companies and processed to the final product like [[Sencha]], [[Konacha]], [[Kukicha]] etc. | '''Aracha''', translated "raw tea", is an unfinished, Japanese [[green tea]].
