Is japan green tea acidic or alkaline?
Japanese green tea, like most green tea, is mildly acidic. Keep in mind that most food and drink is also mildly acidic, so relative to many common foods and drink (such as fruit juice), green tea tends more towards the alkaline side, but it is still more acidic than milk or water. The acidity will be greatest if you brew the tea with a greater leaf to water ratio, and if you use longer steeping time, as this leads to greater concentrations of organic compounds in the water. The level of acidity in tea is not a matter of concern; it is within the normal range for food and drink and poses no health risks.

Green tea is a plants natural nitrogen as well as a medicine. Plants can be watered with green tea, but the mixture of the water and tea has to be right if not the plants will suffer from nitrogen burn and can cause a severe root rot. Based on my experience, I recommand to brew one tea in a gallon of water and use it for the plants. Use the water and fertilizer at the first watering and use the tea with the water on the second watering. Its best to pour atleast one cup of tea from the gallon mixture of the water and tea in to the plants food and water mixture, the plants will love that. Its a winning choice.
How can you cook green tea?
You 'brew' green tea in the same way as for any other tea. Steep the loose or bagged tea in boiling water and leave to stand for at least five minutes.

Purists would add neither sugar or milk and drink the green tea as it is.
