TETSUMI TENCHA - Handpicked Tencha (Pre-milled Matcha Tea Leaves) [Leaf type]
TETSUMI TENCHA - Handpicked Tencha (Pre-milled Matcha Tea Leaves) [Leaf type]
The base tea for making Matcha, these Tencha leaves are 100% grown in Uji, Kyoto. They are carefully prepared from the soft leaves of new spring shoots. This tea is known for its rich fragrance, sweet flavor and pleasant umami.
"Tencha" is the part of the tea leaf that is used as a base for Matcha. The stems and veins of the leaf are carefully removed, and the remaining leaf flecks are used to make Tencha. It has a rich, complex aroma and a pleasant mix of sweet and umami.
Enjoy the refined taste of high-quality, handpicked "Tencha". Brew it with just a little hot water to bring out a strong, rich flavor. We recommend brewing it with cold water to fully enjoy the mellow umami taste.

The deliciousness of our Hand-Picked Tencha tea can be enhanced depending on how it is brewed and drunk.
With hot water
Pour a small amount of hot water onto the tea leaves in the teapot and brew slowly and carefully. The aroma will rise and you will be able to enjoy the rich, sweet flavor of the tea.
Tea brewed with hot water takes on a different flavor when cooled slowly. It becomes richer and you can enjoy a full-bodied, mellow flavor.
With Cold water
Put tea leaves in a tea bottle, pour in water, and leave in the refrigerator overnight. This will create a smooth, mellow-tasting cold-brewed tencha with a rich sweetness.
With tea bag
When you're on the go, tea bags are convenient. The high-quality tea leaves are packed into large tea bags, allowing the leaves to fully open up and bring out the full flavor.
Take a break with a cup of tea that will comfort your mind and body as they change day by day.
Enjoy a happy time with tea from Chaho Yutoha.
