World renowned farmer Kiyoharu Tsuji’s tencha (the green tea used for matcha) has won numerous awards at the Kyoto, West Japan (Kansai), and National levels. A careful selection and processing of this Asahi cultivar is generally used for these competitions.
\n
\n
\nCultivation: Cultivated using centuries-old traditional methods including shading under a canopy of reeds and straw adjusted according to the sunlight and increasing until 95% of sunlight is cut.

\n
\nHarvest: May. Carefully handpicked for maximum quality.
\n
\nProcessing: Steamed and dried in a traditional tencha oven. Carefully refined — removing stems, veins — before stone mill grinding.
\n
\nGrinding: See variant info
\n
\nPackaging: Yunomi pull-top can and inner bag.
