Homeshop Tea Tezumi Classics Matcha | Haruto – Organic Tenryu Matcha

This Blend Of Okuno And Asano From The Shizuoka Mountains Balances Rich Umami And Refreshing Brightness For A Rich, Classic Flavor That Can Be Enjoyed Neat Or With A Drink.

Tianlong Is The Westernmost One. One Of Shizuoka Prefecture’S Three Mountainous Tea-Producing Areas, Tea Fields Dot The Mountains On Both Sides Of The Tenryu River And Its Tributaries. Like Other Mountain Teas From Motoyama And Kawane, Tenryu Tea Is Praised For Its Transparent And Elegant Taste, Which Originates From The Mineral-Rich Soil And The Subtle, Natural Shading Of The Fog And Mountains. Compared With Honyama Tea And Kawagen Tea, Tenryu Tea Fields Are Usually Planted Farther Up The Mountains, At Higher Altitudes, And Away From Pollution. Typically Served Uncovered And Lightly Steamed, Tenryu Sencha Is Known For Its Clear, Crisp Flavor And Unique Aroma, Known As “Yama No Incense” Or Mountain Incense.

Located Deep In The Mountains, The Isagawa Valley Extends From The Fudo River Into The Kiden River And Is Part Of The Tenryu Haruno Subdivision. Isagawa Prefecture’S Relatively Remote Location Makes It An Ideal Location For Organic Tea Cultivation, As There Is No Risk Of Runoff From Neighboring Farms. The Organic Tea Garden Here Covers An Area Of 20 Hectares And Is At An Altitude Of 300-600M. Due To The Higher Altitude, Cooler Temperatures And Fertile Soil, There Is No Need To Use Pesticides Or Chemical Fertilizers. In Addition To The Natural Shade Enjoyed By Mountain Plantations, High Altitude Slows The Growth Of Tea Trees, Resulting In A More Intense Flavor.
