Tencha Tea Bags (5 pcs.)

"Tencha (3g × 5) — Gentle Sweetness with a Refreshing Finish (Okumidori)"

Uji is widely known as a premium matcha-producing region. This product features tencha — the raw material for Kyoto Uji matcha — conveniently packed in tea bags. We hope you enjoy a new taste experience, different from both sencha and matcha.

Tencha is made from leaves that, like gyokuro, are shaded for over 20 days before harvesting to concentrate their umami. After picking, the leaves are not rolled but dried in a “tencha furnace,” giving them an appearance similar to green seaweed.

Since tencha rarely appears on the market, it is considered a very rare tea unique to its region.

The tea leaves are of the Okumidori variety, known for their gentle sweetness and clean, refreshing finish.

Brewing Instructions:

• Hot Brew: Steep the tea bag in 180ml of water at about 70°C (158°F) for 60 seconds. Each tea bag contains enough leaves for two cups.

With these convenient tea bags, you can easily enjoy authentic Japanese tea. We hope this tea brings a relaxing and comforting moment to your everyday life.
