Tenmyo’s cultivar heritage

Tenmyo is a distinct cultivar bred from Samidori and Asahi, rather than a blend of the two.

To understand the quality of Tenmyo, look at what grows beside it. Under the stewardship of Tanaka-san (farmer) and Naoki-san (tea master), our Tenmyo shares its microclimate with an elite Asahi plot destined for Japan’s National Tea Competition. This means the Tenmyo plants benefit from the exact same nutrient-rich soil, precise shading techniques, and masterful daily devotion required to produce competition-grade matcha.
