Tennouzan

Tennouzan by Yamamasa Koyamaen – Deep, Complex, and Exceptionally Refined

Discover one of the finest expressions of Japanese matcha with Tennouzan by Yamamasa Koyamaen, now available at Ujicha Matcha. Grown in the storied tea fields of Uji, Kyoto, and crafted from the first spring harvest, this premium ceremonial-grade matcha is a celebration of depth, balance, and tradition.

Tennouzan delivers a rich, layered umami that unfolds with each sip. It’s elegantly bitter, yet harmonized by a natural sweetness and a long, clean finish. Its aroma is bold and vegetal, hinting at the complex flavor to come. The texture is velvety and dense, making it an exceptional choice for thoughtful preparation and quiet reflection.

This matcha shines when prepared as usucha (thin tea) for a refined, everyday ritual, and is robust enough to be enjoyed as koicha (thick tea) on special occasions. Its complexity and smooth strength make it ideal for seasoned matcha drinkers looking to elevate their practice.

Here’s what makes Tennouzan stand out:

• Flavor: Full-bodied umami with elegant bitterness and balanced sweetness
• Aroma: Deep, green, and expressive
• Origin: First harvest, Uji, Kyoto – Japan’s most celebrated matcha region
• Use: Ideal for usucha or koicha
• Why it’s special: A top-tier ceremonial matcha from Yamamasa Koyamaen, known for depth and refinement
