High premium Japanese green tea with a rich flavor
Tencha is a shaded green tea used to make matcha. Grown like gyokuro, it has its flavor and vivid green color, but has a unique, soft smoothness to it. It is silky and light, but rich and flavorful. Unlike other Japanese green teas, after the steaming of the harvested tea leaves, they are not rolled.
It is sometimes used for cooking. Even just on top of rice, in a salad, or mixed in a dressing the flavor comes out deliciously.
Tencha Shichimei no Mukashi is a concentrated journey which can provide three intense, sweet and pampering brews. Every single captivating drop spoils us with its long, flavor-rich finish, reminding us of a high-quality Gyokuro. Its sweetness, intensity of flavor and body far exceed the Agata no Shiro Tencha that is ranked beneath it. There are no grassy, astringent or bitter tones in this whatsoever. It is very rare that a Koicha tea can be enjoyed as Tencha. Our pleasure – Your pleasure. This is one of those occasions.

Put 5 g of tea leaves into the teapot.
1, Use 50ml of water at 50°C for the the first brew, with 3 minutes of steeping time.
2, Use 40ml of water at 65°C with 90 seconds steeping time.
3, For the third and final brewing, use 40ml of water at 80°C with 1 minute of steeping.
During brewing, it is advised to swirl the tea pot gently. This preparation helps the broader leaves to have ample contact with the modest amount of water.
This is our recommended preparation. Feel free to try adjusting this method to your personal preference.

Its a great alternative to a good matcha, my parents aren't fans of powdered teas so this was perfect for em!

I absolutely love this tea. Whether warm or even cold steeping with ice, it has such a thick richness. Great umami and potato-sticks flavor. For a while it was my traveling tea and I brewed it in a small gaiwan, small hōhin, large flat shiboridashi and other pots or whatever was around... and every time it was delightful (but I don't recommend it when traveling because precise water temp is critical for it). Personally, I don't like the higher temps on this one.. anything over 75ºC has a little too much astringency for my tastes. But that's not problematic at all for me on this tea because the lower temp steeping is so perfect. Also, I love the smell & taste of this so much that I sometimes mix a little in with a cheaper tea. And I'm not beyond just eating a raw spoonful of it or sprinkling it on rice or other dishes. Love it.

I followed the recommended preparation and the result has been the apotheosis in three drinks of these succulent leaves. Soft, heady and round taste. Notes of toasted pumpkin seed. Without a doubt the best Tencha tasted so far. Drink moderately because it is addictive :0).
