Young tea leaves are carefully harvested at peak freshness.

3:Steaming

Leaves are steamed immediately after harvest to stop oxidation and preserve color and aroma.

Leaves are dried without rolling, and stems and veins are removed to produce tencha.

5: Stone Grinding

Tencha is slowly ground into a fine powder using traditional stone mills.

6: Sifting & Finishing

The powder is sifted to ensure a smooth texture and consistent particle size.
