This is a very special tea, that is quite rare even in Japan. Tencha is the base tea for making powdered Matcha. The color is dark green, as are all teas from Uji, and the flakes of tea are unique. The brew is sweet and ethereal.
Gyokuro Uji’s most famous tea. Japanese aristocrats have sipped this shade–grown tea for centuries. The dark green tea makes for a very special cup.
