Tencha

碾茶

てんちゃ

Leaf tissue (without ribs and veins) from fully shaded tea, raw material for the production of matcha

The grinding of the fresh Tencha leaves on Japanese stone mills at Shimodozono's Diepholz site is unique in Europe.

As grinding makes the tea even more sensitive to oxygen and heat and causes it to oxidise quickly, the tencha is imported packed in temperature-controlled containers in a nitrogen atmosphere and only freshly ground into KEIKO Matcha shortly before it is shipped to the end customer.

Tencha Niji - Organic Japanese Green Tea

An exciting rarity from Kagoshima. The name "Niji" ("rainbow") symbolizes the wide range of delicate aromas this Tencha has to offer. Due to the strong shading of the tea bushes before harvesting, particularly high amounts of chlorophyll, theanine and caffeine are formed in the plant. The rather bitter tannin content, however, remains low. Tencha is the preliminary stage of Matcha tea. After short steaming and drying, the leaf tissue is separated from the leaf veins in an air stream. These flake-like Tencha leaves produce an exquisite, aromatic-mild and multi-faceted infusion. Can also be used as a decorative sprinkle seasoning in fine, experimental cuisine. An ideal culmination of exquisite dishes and a taste experience of a special kind. Storage In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.
