Tenmyo Matcha is a rare expression of Japanese tea craftsmanship, created for those who seek depth, distinction, and character in every bowl. Exceptionally limited and deeply refined, it offers a more contemplative matcha experience, one that feels elegant, layered, and quietly unforgettable.

Crafted from an uncommon cultivar and produced in very limited quantities, Tenmyo speaks to collectors, connoisseurs, and those who appreciate rarity not as a statement, but as a standard. This is not an everyday matcha. It is a matcha chosen for moments that deserve something more special.

Tenmyo Lineage, a Rare Kyoto Cultivar

A rare Kyoto cultivar for high-grade matcha, Tenmyo was selected from Samidori-cross seedlings in Kyoto’s tea trials and registered in 2006. Often described as carrying Samidori’s elegance along with bright umami notes from Asahi, with minimal to no bitterness.

Your Guide to Tasting Tenmyo

Tenmyo is naturally sweet and elegant, with no trace of bitterness. Its light and airy body carries a gentle toasted chestnut note, finishing crisp and refreshing, a clean taste that lingers with sophistication.

Brewing Tenmyo vs. Other Matcha

  • Tenmyo isn’t meant to be diluted or masked.

    Tenmyo is unlike standard ceremonial matcha. Traditionally used in koicha (thick tea) ceremonies in Japan, it is crafted to be enjoyed in a more concentrated form.

    To unlock its natural sweetness, airy body, and refined chestnut notes, Tenmyo should be prepared with a double serving — 3.5 – 4g per cup (about 1.5x more than usual ceremonial matcha).

  • Iced Matcha (Usucha):

    Tenmyo is a delicate matcha crafted to shine in its purest forms.

    Whisk 3g of Tenmyo with cool water and ice for a refreshing, light-bodied experience.

  • Latte Style (Matcha Cortado)

    Treat Tenmyo as you would a light-roasted specialty coffee. Prepare a double shot of matcha (3.5g), then add only a small amount of milk (half the amount you add in your usual matcha latte). This preserves its nuanced flavor while offering a creamy texture.
