PACKAGING GUIDE
Tencha, the tea base used for making matcha, is a delicious and rare find. Shade-grown gyokuro leaves are steamed, dried and leaf veins removed prior to grinding. Tencha brews a cup much lighter in color than matcha, but with similar body and flavor. It can be brewed as-is, or ground to create matcha. Our selection offers the aroma of sweet green vegetables and a cup that offers vegetal notes and a hint of roasted nuts.

Lore
Matcha is a famous green powder made from ground tea leaves. It is made from shade-grown tea, commonly known as gyokuro, but there is another step that comes between the initial leaves and the famous powder. That step is Tencha. Tencha is made by drying the tea leaves flat (rather than rolled or loose like other Japanese teas). The resulting leaves are light and fragile, which makes them well suited to the grinding process that creates matcha; however, they also make a great cup on their own, as shown by this impressive cup.Raw Honey for Green Teas
