Throughout its eight hundred years of history, Uji tea has been renowned as some of the finest in all of Japan. Tencha is the name for the unground tea leaves intended for use as matcha. Because most tencha leaves are ground up into matcha powder, tencha is not generally available on the market and is instead consumed primarily by tea farmers in their own homes. Perhaps they are trying to keep the secret of Uji tencha to themselves? The leaves used to make tencha are shaded for at least twenty days before being picked by hand, steamed, and finally dried in a furnace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA invigorating blend of fragrance, sweetness, and umami\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its beautiful golden colour and harmonious balance of aroma, umami, and sweetness, Royal Blue Tea’s The Uji\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003edelivers the essence of Uji tencha, perfect for enjoying at home or as a gift for someone special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e※Glass not included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInfusion Time: 3 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Green tea (Tencha, Uji Tea)　京都宇治碾茶\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultivar: Saemidori　さえみどり\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvesting method: Hand-picked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTea leaf origin: Southern Kyoto Prefecture　京都府南部地区\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultivation method: Natural cultivation 自然仕立て\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTea leaf producer: JA Kyoto Yamashiro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 bottle\/750mL, tea beverage, store upright, keep refrigerated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest before date: 2~3 months from date of dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"royalbluetea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34283783438,"sku":"","price":246.1,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1617\/5191\/products\/1756194_listImage.jpg?v=1484626004","url":"https:\/\/royalbluetea.myshopify.com\/products\/the-uji","provider":"ROYAL BLUE TEA SINGAPORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
