Sencha, Gyokuro & Matcha
✨ Discover the Art of Japanese Tea: Sencha, Gyokuro & Matcha ✨
Ever wondered why Matcha tastes so uniquely vibrant and smooth compared to other green teas?
It all comes down to how the leaves are grown and processed! 🇯🇵
Sencha (Everyday Green Tea)
→ Grown in natural sunlight
→ Steamed → Rolled → Dried
Bright, refreshing & slightly grassy.
Gyokuro (Premium Shaded Tea)
→ Covered with shade for 16–20 days before harvest
→ Steamed → Rolled → Dried
Rich umami, sweet, and deeply flavorful.
Tencha (The Secret Behind Matcha) ❤️
→ Covered with shade for 16–20 days (same as Gyokuro)
→ Steamed → Dried (no rolling!)
The no rolling step is the key! It keeps the leaves tender and full of chlorophyll, creating that beautiful emerald color and creamy texture when stone-ground into Matcha.
This special shading + gentle processing is what gives real ceremonial-grade matcha its luxurious taste and vivid green color.
