Tennouzan Matcha by Yamamasa Koyamaen
Bold, structured, and beautifully grounding—Tennouzan is a matcha with presence. Named after a historic mountain associated with decisive moments, this selection delivers a fuller-bodied experience with satisfying umami, balanced bitterness, and a clean, steady finish. It’s a matcha that feels strong yet polished—perfect for those who want depth and character in every cup.
Available at Ujicha Matcha — the Official Distributor of Yamamasa Koyamaen products in the USA — Tennouzan is sourced according to the producer’s “Taste First” philosophy, where what matters most is how the tea actually tastes and feels when prepared. Each batch is chosen for drinkability, balance, and performance across preparation styles.
Tennouzan is especially well suited for matcha drinkers who enjoy a more assertive profile. Whisked traditionally, it produces a robust, satisfying bowl with layered savory notes and a smooth finish. In lattes, it stands up exceptionally well to milk—retaining its matcha character, color, and aroma without getting lost. It’s a favorite style for morning matcha or a focused afternoon reset.
In your bowl or cup, expect:
- Full-bodied flavor with pronounced umami and gentle, pleasant bitterness
- Clean, structured finish that feels energizing and grounding
- Rich green color and fine texture from careful stone milling
- Excellent latte performance with strong flavor carry-through
