Ceremonial Matcha Leaves (Tencha) - Brew or Grind Fresh Matcha Leaf

From the Private Reserve, these Matcha Leaves (Tencha) are direct from the tea-fields of Uji, Japan. Quality above all else, our loose-leaf matcha leaves (known as tencha) represent the savory and energizing complexion of matcha – all from the whole-leaf form which you can steep as a traditional green tea, or use for fresh grinding of matcha. What is Tencha? Before matcha becomes matcha, it is tencha. The same careful labor, mindfulness, and hand-picked character of our Uji Matcha is poured into these Tencha Leaves – to be enjoyed as a more conventionally steeped tea. Tencha is naturally high in antioxidants, L-theanine (the calming amino-acid) and has energizing levels of caffeine (about 30mg/g). Similar to Gyokuro, although Tencha leaves are not rolled during the drying process. Matcha Experience in a Steeped Tea or Grinding at-home Our Loose-leaf Tencha Leaves are a great segue for the conventional steeped-tea drinker to experience the power of matcha, and vice versa.
