Default chinese and japanese green tea

Hi

I'm curious about the differences between chinese and japanese green
tea. I'd appreciate some information or a pointer to an explanation on
the web.

One other question: I recently purchased some Mao Feng from a local tea
shop. I'm brewing it at 160F for 2 minutes. It has a slightly burnt,
smokey flavor. Is this to be expected or is there something wrong with
the tea? The taste is certainly not to my liking...

Thanks
Tom
