Tencha Mimoto Japanese – Rare Unground Matcha Leaf from KyotoA Tealyra North America exclusive, this rare Tencha Mimoto is naturally produced in historic Kyoto, Japan. It's an incredible, deep emerald beauty — and a true discovery for tea lovers, because tencha is matcha in its unground state. To make tencha, the tea plants are shaded for two to three weeks before harvest. The leaves are then steamed and dried without rolling, which is quite different from most traditional Japanese green teas. The result is a tea that produces a dark, rich infusion with a remarkably smooth character. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItTencha Mimoto doesn't have the sharp, grassy "green" flavor many people associate with green tea. Instead, it's deep, sweet and rich — a green tea that can convince even green tea skeptics of its wonders! Its sweet, savory depth makes every cup a treat.
How to EnjoyBrew it gently in a small teapot and savor it in small cups to appreciate its depth. Re-steep the leaves for several infusions. It pairs beautifully with delicate Japanese sweets and makes a memorable gift for tea enthusiasts. Definitely a must-try for all genuine tea enthusiasts! |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
