Unmilled Organic Ceremonial-Grade Tencha Green Tea Leaves Vanilla Flavored Raw Material for Premium Matcha Production

Before matcha becomes powder, it is called Tencha – the de-veined, shade-grown green tea leaf. Our Chinese Tencha is produced specifically for matcha grinding, using extended shade coverage (minimum 25 days) and steam fixation to lock in chlorophyll and umami. Unlike sencha, tencha is never rolled, preserving the leaf structure for fine stone-milling.

We offer tencha in whole-leaf or coarse-cut form, ideal for buyers who wish to control the grinding process or import raw material for local processing. Each batch is tested for particle size potential and color vibrancy. Sourced from high-altitude farms in Guizhou and Sichuan. Available in vacuum-sealed 10kg/20kg cartons with full phytosanitary certification. Wholesale pricing, monthly container capacity.
