Tenryū Tsuyuhikari - Ceremonial Grade Matcha
Grown in the pristine mountain region of Tenryu, Shizuoka, our Tsuyuhikari Matcha is a rare and exquisite expression of Japanese tea craftsmanship. Made from 100% single-cultivar Tsuyuhikari, this ceremonial-grade matcha reflects its high-elevation terroir with depth, clarity, and an elegant complexity. This tea is
Shade-grown to enhance its natural sweetness and chlorophyll content, the tea is then stone-milled into a fine, luminous green powder. Tsuyuhikari is known for its smooth body and layered flavour, offering a refined alternative to more common cultivars, with subtle depth and an ethereal finish.
Certified organic by JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards), this matcha is grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. Each harvest is guided by traditional Japanese agricultural wisdom and a deep respect for the natural rhythm of the Tenryu landscape.
To preserve its vibrant colour, aroma, and delicate flavour compounds, we package our Tsuyuhikari Matcha in violet glass. This biophotonic material protects the tea from harmful visible light while allowing in beneficial ultraviolet and infrared rays—light frequencies known to help maintain freshness and offer natural antibacterial benefits.
Ideal for traditional matcha preparation, this cultivar also performs beautifully in premium lattes and delicate recipes that highlight its graceful, vegetal character.
