World renowned farmer Kiyoharu Tsuji’s tencha (the green tea used for matcha) has won numerous awards at the Kyoto, West Japan (Kansai), and National levels. A careful selection and processing of this Asahi cultivar is generally used for these competitions.
\n
\n
\nCultivation: Cultivated using centuries-old traditional methods including shading under a canopy of reeds and straw adjusted according to the sunlight and increasing until 95% of sunlight is cut. Tsuji-san also conducts soil analysis monthly and analysis of amino acid content in the leaf (which forms the umami flavor) annually to craft the best leaf year after year.
\n
\nHarvest: May. Carefully handpicked for maximum quality.
\n
\nProcessing: Steamed and dried in a traditional tencha oven. Carefully refined — removing stems, veins — before stone mill grinding.
\n
\nGrinding: See variant info
\n
\nPackaging: Yunomi pull-top can and inner bag.
\n
\nNet weight: 20g

\nRegion: Uji, Kyoto

About the Farmer
\n
Tsuji-sensei, a fifth generation tea farmer, is one of Japan’s top cultivators and producers of tencha, and his Asahi cultivar tea field has helped him win dozens awards over the years at the regional and national level. The accumulation of accolades have led to the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award for agriculture in 2017.
Fifth generation master tencha tea farmer Kiyoharu Tsuji stands head and shoulders above the rest in Japan’s tea world. Recipient of the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award in 2017 for agriculture, he was chosen after accumulating dozens of top awards for his tencha since taking over the farm from his father in 1990.
He has not only helped to preserve the art of cultivating and processing tea leaves into tencha, the tea used for matcha, but he also spreads the art by teaching younger farmers.
Tsuji-sensei has also introduced modern science into his process, utilizing laboratory analysis to inform his cultivation techniques. He conducts soil analysis monthly to ensure best environmental conditions and tests his leaves for amino acid content annually to ensure the maximum quality for matcha.
