What is Aki-ten Powder?
‘TSUKI’ powder from shaded tea (1st flush) + Unshaded Tea which is called ”Aki-ten Powder”.
Traditionally ‘Matcha’ had the below standards before.
- used with leaves which shaded for about 3 weeks before plucking
- has green laver incense = Dimethyl sulfide ( shaded leaves have this incense)
- made by the machine Tencha-ro
- ground by stone mill
but recently due to the increase in demand for cheap organic powdered tea from overseas, even if it does not match the above four points, we called ’Matcha’.
At our KANES, especially in the point of ‘Tasty’, we distinguish ‘Akiten Powder’ which not have Umami not have Dimethyl sulfide with other Matcha.
‘Aki’ means fall.
‘Ten’ means tencha-ro.
‘Akiten Powder’ is specified for using it in Culinary type.
It is made in Tencha-ro but made by unshaded tea leaves of autumn season.
It means that not rich Theanine, not have ‘Dimethyl sulfide’ , not ‘Umami’, or not ‘ beautiful green color’.
