That's probably irrelevant. Different manufacturing methods yield
leaves with different hues, but I haven't heard anything convincing

If you have a grocery store handy that sells to Japanese people, try
any brand of green tea you can afford. In my experience, in these
shops quality varies directly with price.

I'm sure you sincerely believe this, but please consider: cultivating
a taste for what you're drinking will fortify your resolve to continue
with it.
