The exceptional quality of Tenjin rests on rigorous selection and artisanal processing:

• Spring Harvest: This tea is made exclusively from top-quality young shoots, picked when the plant is at its most nutrient-rich and aromatic.
• The Cult of the Leaf: Its leaves, crafted with extreme precision, are as thin as pins. This perfect shape testifies to masterful steaming and rolling, guaranteeing a harmonious release of flavors.
• The Yabukita Cultivar: Derived from the emblematic Yabukita cultivar, Tenjin expresses all the typical characteristics of Japanese Sencha: a masterful balance between liveliness and sweetness.

The expert's note: The secret of the Yabukita cultivar

If Sencha Tenjin possesses such aromatic precision, it is because it comes from the Yabukita cultivar, the true "gold standard" of Japanese tea.

To enhance the delicate "pins" of the Tenjin and avoid any bitterness:

• Water temperature: 75°C - 80°C. Water that is too hot will mask the natural sweetness of the young shoots. Spring or filtered water is recommended.
• Infusion time: 1 to 1'30 minutes. Tenjin releases its aromas very quickly thanks to the delicate nature of its leaves.
• Dosage: Use approximately 4g to 5g of tea per 150ml of water.
• Re-infusions: Like all high-quality green teas, this tea can be infused up to 2 times. For subsequent infusions, you can slightly increase the temperature and reduce the time to 30 seconds.
