Tencha: Shade-Grown Tea Leaves Steamed and Dried Flat for Matcha
Tencha is green tea grown under cover for the last two to three weeks before picking, then steamed and dried flat, without the rolling that gives sencha its needles; stems and veins come out and the leaf is cut small. Ground in a stone mill, tencha becomes matcha. Shading makes the leaves thinner, greener and sweeter.

Two to three weeks before picking, cover the tea bushes on a frame with reed screens and straw, or with cheesecloth, so little sun reaches the new shoots.

Dry them flat: strong heat first, then lower heat for longer. Do not roll them. Pull out stems and larger veins and dry again.

Pick out any foreign matter and hard veins, cut the leaf into pieces about 5 mm square, and give a last short drying. Store dry; grind only to make matcha.
