The award-winning Unjonotomo (Extra Thick Grade) is our super premium matcha made from shade-grown Tencha leaves. It is thick and sweet, with luxurious vegetal flavors that create an extraordinary beverage. This tea is made from a raw tea called Tencha that is air dried, then dried flakes are ground between two stones, just like centuries ago.
The result is a fine powder that is almost neon green. The liquor is made by dissolving the tea powder into water. There is no brewing like with other teas.
You drink the leaf! The liquor is thick and frothy from the mixing. It is an opaque brilliant green color.
