London Tea Super Premium Tenno

The Super Premium Tenno is the emperor of the Matcha line. It has a pronounced and complex umami flavour. Kakegawa is a city in Shizuoka Prefecture that is known for its tea cultivation and in particular for the production of high-quality matcha. The region offers ideal climatic conditions for tea cultivation, including a balanced amount of sunlight, rainfall and a suitable temperature. The tea plantations in Kakegawa extend over rolling hills and fertile soils rich in minerals. The farmers use traditional cultivation methods and dedicate themselves to the careful care of the tea plants in order to obtain the best leaves for matcha production. Matcha tea cultivation in Kakegawa follows a special process in which the tea leaves are shaded for around 20 days before harvesting. As a result, the leaves develop their characteristic dark green colour and develop an intense aroma as well as a high content of chlorophyll and amino acids.
