Unveiling the Art of Matcha with Tenju

At Taolefah, our commitment to providing premium tea experiences has led us to offer Tenju, a Principal Matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, one of Japan's most respected matcha producers. Tenju represents the pinnacle of Japanese tea craftsmanship, with its rich tradition and meticulous production.

The Legacy of Marukyu Koyamaen

Founded in the early 18th century, Marukyu Koyamaen is synonymous with excellence in the world of matcha. Located in Uji, Kyoto—a region renowned for producing Japan’s finest tea leaves—Marukyu Koyamaen has perfected the art of matcha production for over 300 years. Their dedication to quality has earned them numerous accolades, including top honors at Japan’s National Tea Competition.

What truly distinguishes Marukyu Koyamaen is their commitment to preserving traditional methods in an era of modern conveniences. Central to their process is the traditional stone grinding of tea leaves, a meticulous technique that ensures the matcha retains its vibrant green color, rich flavor, and essential nutrients. This method, combined with traditional shading techniques that protect the leaves from direct sunlight, helps maintain the integrity and quality of the matcha.

The Art of Crafting Tenju

Tenju, recognized as a Principal Matcha by Marukyu Koyamaen, is crafted from the finest hand-picked tea leaves, selected at the peak of their flavor. The leaves undergo a careful steaming process to prevent oxidation, preserving their fresh, bright green appearance. Following this, the leaves are dried and ground slowly using traditional granite stones.

This stone grinding process is a hallmark of Marukyu Koyamaen’s commitment to quality. The grinding is done at a slow pace to prevent heat generation, which could compromise the delicate flavors and beneficial nutrients in the tea. The result is a matcha with smoothness, depth of flavor, and vibrant color.
