Tencha Agata no Shiro
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, giving the finished tea an unusual appearance.
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 Agata no Shiro, compared to the entry-level Tencha Hatsumukashi, is a more dominant, sweeter and flavorful tea. Both the first and second brews are sweet and round-bodied with a lingering aftertaste. By the third brew, an exciting, slightly flavorful blend of green tones emerges, free from any unwelcome sweetness.

How to prepare

 |
 |
 |
| 5 g 0.2 oz 1.2 US tsp |
50°C 122°F |
50 ml 1.7 fl oz 50 cc |
180 sec.~ |
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.
