- Description
- Awarded the Prix D'Argent (Silver Medal) at the Japanese Tea Selection Paris competition. Zenjyoji area, where the Nishide family is located, is a small district at the side of the Tawara River, a tributary of Uji River. The Zenjyoji temple was first built in 987, and the lands in this area was administered by the temple for centuries. Grown under canopy shading, Matcha Kuwari uses only leaves from the region of Zenjyoji in Ujitawara. The family named it “KUWARI” which was the name of Zenjyoji before the middle of Heian era. Tencha tea leaves blended and refined by Nishide-san are then ground into fine matcha powder by stone mill at Nishide-san’s new factory. Leaves themselves are shaded under modern canopy shading for some 40 days (varies from year to year) for extra rich savory umami flavor.
