by Itoh Kyuemon伊藤久右衛門
A ceremonial-grade koicha matcha with mellow sweetness and a noble, high-toned aroma. Formerly known as “Ajirogi” (網代木), Tenjo is Itoh Kyuemon’s mid-premium tier, carefully stone-ground from blended tencha sourced across Joyo and Wazuka regions in Kyoto Prefecture.
Editorial verdict
An accessible entry into Itoh Kyuemon’s upper matcha tier. Tenjo delivers the mellow sweetness and ceremonial quality the brand is known for, at a price that rewards frequent use. Works well as koicha and produces excellent usucha with a lively, fragrant finish.
