#0637.K6 Shogyokuen: Tencha Green Tea Leaves Samidori Single Cultivar - Canopy Shading Size:250g / 8.8 oz / May Harvest Another one of Tarui-san's recommendationsTencha is the name of the leaf used to make matcha. It is generally made by shading to prevent the leaf from becoming bitter (reducing sunlight prevents catechin from building up as the leaf grows), then steaming, drying without rolling, and finally refining into flakes. Grade: This particular would like be ground into a Imperial Ceremonial Grade matcha if made commercially. You can enjoy this tencha as a tea, or attempt to grind it yourself. Note
