TETSUMI TENCHA-ORI - Handpicked Tencha-Ori (Matcha Tea Leaf Veins) [Tea bag type]
100% produced in Uji, Kyoto, this tea is made from the leaf veins removed in the process of making Matcha. This unusual tea is rarely made available to the public. It is known for its delicate yet complex flavor.
The veins that are removed when making Tencha, (the base for matcha), are not wasted, but used to create a masterpiece that generally only tea farmers can enjoy. It has a complex aroma, rich flavor and savory tones.
Compared to the refined flavor of handpicked "Tencha," this tea has a more subtle and complex flavor. It is rarely available to the public, but tea farmers have come to love it, considering it "maremon" (a delicacy). Please enjoy this unique flavor.

The rich aroma is layered with sweetness and umami. The deliciousness of our Hand-Picked Tencha can be further 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.
